DEPENDABLE CLEANERS' READ TO RIDE PROGRAM PEDDLES INTO ITS 18TH YEAR!

(Quincy, MA- May 12, 2016)- Dependable Cleaners is pleased to announce its annual Read to Ride program will begin on Monday, May 16th. The program is designed to encourage student to continue with their reading during the summer months. Students ages 6-15 will have the chance to win a bike or an exciting prize for every book they read. Since the program’s inception in 1999, more than 70,000 books have been read!

“Our Read to Ride program has been in the community for 18 years and continues to promote education and exercise,” Christa Hagearty, president of Dependable Cleaners. We have had overwhelming success over the past few years and have hit a benchmark in over 72,000 books read! I am very excited to see what is to come this year.”

Participation in Read to Ride is simple. For every book a child reads, they fill out an entry form and submit it at any of the 16 Dependable Cleaner locations or with Dependable Cleaners’ Home Delivery Drivers. Entry forms are available at all Dependable Cleaners locations, delivery routes, Country Ski & Sport locations, Farina’s Bike Store in Watertown, local libraries, bookstores and online at DependableCleaners.com/Read-Ride.

One grand prize winner will be drawn each Monday (except for July 4). The grand prize winners will receive a new bike and helmet. Two additional winners will receive runner up prizes each week. A full list of Read to Ride partners, terms and conditions, and a printable entry form are accessible at www.DependableCleaners.com/Read-Ride.
