A New Chapter in Actively Supporting Literacy

After much thoughtful consideration, we have decided to retire LOOP for Literacy after 15 wonderful years. This community event has been a meaningful tradition, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who has walked, run, cycled, sponsored, and volunteered in support of literacy over the years.

As we look ahead, we are excited to continue championing literacy in a new way – by joining Spirit of Giving’s Community Spirit Race on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at Florida Atlantic University — Football Stadium in Boca Raton. Partnering in this collaborative nonprofit event will allow us to raise funds efficiently to support and expand our critical literacy programs.

In addition, we are growing our mission-focused community engagement through events like our Author Talk Series and other community reading experiences, designed to inspire readers and strengthen our shared love of literacy.

We’re proud of LOOP for Literacy’s legacy and look forward to this next chapter – one that continues to build community and open doors through the power of reading. Join us on March 7 at the Community Spirit Race.

Check back, registration will open soon!
