Have clinicians record themselves reading a holiday story in front of the holiday decorations in your clinic or practice.
Share to your social media accounts with the following wording and include a link to the fundraising page.

The holiday season is a time for gathering, sharing stories, and creating lasting memories.
We encourage you to create even more cherished moments with the children in your life by cuddling up and reading a beloved book!
The gift of reading truly lasts a lifetime and your support will provide that to the children we see each day in our practice. Donate today at https://givebutter.com/NuQNBU.
When you make your donation:
1) Post to your own social media channels and encourage others to donate as well.
A sample post you could include:
I am sharing the gift of reading this holiday season and am challenging you to do the same. Through partnership with clinicians, Reach Out and Read-Alabama equips parents and caregivers with guidance and books to make reading with their young children a meaningful part of daily life. (Then share a personal story about the program.)

2) Send an email to family and friends asking for their donation and share your reason why you support the program along with the link to the donation page.
Set up a photo op area in your practice where families can take a photo with their book they received during their visit. Encourage them to share the photo on social media, tagging your practice and Reach Out and Read-Alabama.
Choose a specific book to share this month.
Ask families to donate a brand new book this month.
Have local celebrities come in to read a holiday book in the waiting room.
Have a coloring contest for patients.
