Help celebrate Giving Tuesday by raising money to provide books for kids in need.
As a book-loving community, we know the impact that books can have on our lives.
Podcast contributor, Carolina (IG @CurlUpWithBooks) is hosting a fundraiser to raise money for FirstBook an organization providing kids in need with books and learning resources.
In the United States, more than 60 percent of low-income families have no children’s books in their homes. This holiday season, FirstBook wants to give 1 million new, high-quality books to children in need. 2021 marks our third year of Give a Million, which is our end-of-year fundraising initiative that runs through December 31. They’ve set an ambitious goal culminating in the gift of a new, high-quality book to 1 million children living in poverty to take home this holiday season.
How can you help?
There are 2 ways to contribute:
- Post a book stack – For each GIVING or TUESDAY book stack posted with #BooksToKidsStack by Friday, December 3rd, Carolina (@curlupwithbooks) will donate $1 to @firstbookorg (up to $100). $1 equals 1 book.
- Donate directly – join Carolina’s fundraiser and support the goal to raise $500 by the end of the year.
Let’s share our love of books with children less fortunate.
WHAT IS GIVING TUESDAY?
