Tomorrow marks the official end of the Literary Heptathlon fundraiser. As of this writing, our heptathletes have raised $16,432 towards our $18,000 goal. We're so close — let's finish strong!
Remember: the first and second heptathletes to garner 8 donations between April 3 and tomorrow will receive two Coolidge Corner Theatre movie passes and a Wellesely Books giftcard, respectively.
Here's a couple non-fundraising ways to earn points before tomorrow's big event:
- Invite your friend to register for an upcoming volunteer orientation session — earn 1,000 points per friend.
- Sign up for any volunteer opportunity between April 25 and the end of June — earn 500 points per session.
Please contact Chris or call 826 Boston at 617.442.5400 to make sure your points are counted.
The Final Games
Thursday, 4/14, 7-9pm @ Hibernian Hall, Dudley Square
Both the culmination of the competition and a celebration of the fundraisers success, tomorrow's final games of the Literary Heptathlon will be one for the ages. Like an adult field day with a literary twist, the event will feature a series of unusual, academic and athletic games, along with free refreshments, and music from The Reluctants (featuring 826 Boston's own Jess Drench). Points will be alottted to teams who win each game, contributing to individuals' and teams' overall point scores.
At the event, trophies and prizes (including certificates to The Gallows Restaurant, Yoga Healthworks, Brattle Theatre and more) will be distributed on the following basis:
- 1st & 2nd place —volunteer teams
- 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place — individual point earners (volunteers)
- 1st place — staff team overall point scores, volunteer team
- 1st place — Final Games team
The event and games are welcome to all. Admission is free for heptathletes and donors, $10 suggested donation for all others. See you there!
