The I STAND fundraiser comes to the DoubleTree by Hilton Reading on Saturday, October 10, 2026, with doors opening into a late morning gathering that begins at 11:00 AM. The downtown hotel at 701 Penn Street puts the event within easy reach for anyone coming from across Berks County, with the ballroom setting giving the morning a comfortable, unhurried feel.

Fundraisers like this one bring neighbors together around a shared cause, and the midday timing makes it an easy addition to a Saturday in the city. Expect a welcoming room, time to connect with others who care about the same work, and a program built around the organization behind the event.

If you are looking for a way to spend part of your Saturday supporting local efforts, this gathering in the heart of Reading offers a straightforward place to start. Plan to arrive close to the 11:00 AM start so you do not miss the opening of the program.
