A new kind of fundraiser that fuels both minds and missions.

Return to Reading is a literacy movement where every audiobook download and merch purchase helps fund youth programs — while inspiring a culture of reading.

Through The Book of Luther — a modern illustrated audiobook series — organizations like Coleman Youth Development Academy can raise money, motivate students, and bring storytelling back to the spotlight.

Every chapter you unlock helps fund the next.

THE 100K DOWNLOAD CHALLENGE

Each quarter, one chapter of The Book of Luther is released. But there’s a twist: the next chapter won’t drop until we reach 100,000 downloads.

If your organization reaches that milestone first, you’ll earn the title of Early Release Partner — unlocking the next chapter early and being featured in the credits, marketing materials, and press coverage.

Early Release Partners Receive:

Official recognition and feature in the next chapter’s release
On-site or virtual reading event hosted by the author
Spotlight for your student ambassadors and team

HOW IT WORKS

Join the Program

Organizations, schools, and clubs sign up to become reading partners. Each group receives a unique QR code and tracking link.

Promote the Pre-Sale

Share your link with families, supporters, and the community. Each pre-sale helps unlock The Book of Luther chapter releases.

Every $1.99 download is split between your organization and the production team that brings the story to life.

Wear the Word

Supporters can also buy exclusive Book of Luther merchandise. A portion of every purchase supports your organization.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Most fundraisers sell products that don’t build long-term skills. This one does.

Return to Reading creates:

Funding for programs that change lives
Opportunities for schools to promote literacy
A reason for youth to read again — through powerful storytelling and competition

You’re not just selling — you’re shaping the next generation of thinkers, writers, and dreamers.

WEAR THE WORD

This isn’t just merch — it’s movement gear. Each design features quotes, artwork, and imagery from The Book of Luther. When supporters “Wear the Word,” they’re literally carrying the message — and funding literacy.

Every shirt funds 2 student readers.
Every hoodie supports the next chapter release.
