Some even got sponsors who agreed to donate for them.  This is by no means mandatory, but if you’re joining the read-a-thon and are able to donate, here’s a list of charities you could donate to:

Animals, Nature and Conservation

Children

International Relief

Health

Literacy

Poverty and Hunger

Women

Others

Please keep in mind that this is not meant to be an exhaustive list, nor a list of “official” read-a-thon charities. You’re more than welcome to donate to a charity not listed above. In fact, if you have suggestions of charities to be added to be list, please leave them in the comments, and we’ll be happy to add them.
