2018 celebrates the third year we've supported the remarkable efforts of the Chicago-based charity I'm working with.
The charity annually donates nearly 130,000 books to groups and individuals who want books, but don't have the funds to purchase them. They also work with young readers, coaching them to read better and enjoy reading.
In 2016, donors who teamed-up with me contributed more than 1,200 books to the charity and nearly 2,800 in 2017.
During the first phase of 2018's book campaign (4th Quarter, 2017), we contributed more than 1,000 children's books, which is the charity's main product for their programs targeted towards younger readers.
We've lined up several additional prospective children's book donations from remote donors in our network and are raising funds to ship donated books directly to the charity; taking that financial burden off the prospective book donors and making it easier to get the books in the charity's hands.
We don't need a million dollars, just enough donor interest to fund our final initiative for 2018 so the charity can do their important work.
Thanks for caring and taking the time to get involved.
