The Goal

The main reason we came up with this event is because we genuinely want to help others in need. We know the three of us can not do this alone, and so that is why we decided to reach out to you. We figured the best way we could go about doing this is to ask this amazing book blog community to join and cooperate together for a great cause. With as little as 50 cents, $1, or perhaps more, it will eventually add up and we might be able to give something substantial.

The Charities
First Book

- provides new books to children in need addressing one of the most important factors affecting literacy -- access to books.

Save the Children

- Save the Children is the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need around the world. Recognized for our commitment to accountability, innovation and collaboration, our work takes us into the heart of communities, where we help children and families help themselves.
