Bring a Book,
Take a Book
Have books collecting dust at home? Bring them to the race — no cost, no catch, just a great way to pay it forward. Spot something you’d love to read? Take it home and leave a small suggested donation. Every dollar goes straight back into supporting our students.
Suggested Donations
Pick up a great read and support a student’s education.
Quick Read
$1 suggested
Take home a short story, poetry collection, or slim guide — and toss in a buck to keep the mission going.
Standard Read
$2.50 suggested
Novels, memoirs, textbooks — the kind of book that sticks with you. A small donation goes a long way.
Epic Read
$5 suggested
Big books, big ideas. If you’re committing to a doorstopper, we’d love a $5 donation in return.
Book tables will be set up at the start and finish lines of every Unity Run event. Dropping off? Always free and always appreciated. Taking one home? Donations are suggested but never required — we just love that the book found a new reader.
