Every child in Cabo Velas has a dream—to be a scientist, a teacher, or a leader. But every dream needs a foundation. Last year, the CRIA family and Futuro Brillante proved that when we come together, magic happens. Because of your incredible generosity, 343 students in Matapalo, La Garita Vieja, and Playa Grande started their school year with 1,372 brand-new books in their hands. You didn't just give them paper; you gave them the tools to succeed. This year, for Read-A-Thon 2026, we want to reach even further. Our goal is to surpass the $8,685 raised last year and ensure that no student in our district is left behind. Will you help us turn the page for a child today? Together, we are not just donating books; we are building a brighter Cabo Velas.
