The purpose of these events is to help raise the necessary dollars to impact our Leagues focus area of creating, improving and expanding the resources available to all children, to enhance opportunities available for their growth, development, and overall welfare.

Touch-a-Truck 2010

In the spring of 2010, the Junior League of Reading will host the 5th Annual Touch-a-Truck 2010, a community-based, family-oriented fundraising event with hopes to be bigger and better than last year’s, which was a great success! Entertainment, food and activities are being planned. Don’t miss your favorite mascot! It promises to be great family fun for everyone!

More than thirty-five trucks, fire engines, police cars, heavy equipment, motorcycles, dump trucks, cranes, and numerous other types of vehicles rallied to give children a chance to experience a wonderful hands-on experience. Children climbed on; scrambled over and touched to their hearts’ desire their favorite vehicle and trucks.

One of the highlights of the day’s event was the “Teetering Truck Track Race.” Children raced corporate sponsored cars in a wooden truck derby.

If you are a business, local not-for-profit, government or military organization, you can support Touch-a-Truck 2010 by showing off your vehicles and allowing them to become part of the children’s interactive display.
