While this is a bit inconvenient, we hope that it's worth it, knowing how many more children will be served by Bernie's Book Bank if we succeed in receiving this grant! $50,000 equals another 300,000 books we can deliver! Please take the time to leave your comments about BBB and how we are making a difference in so many children's lives! In less than two years, we've collected, processed and distributed more than 330,000 books to at-risk children at a cost of only 16 cents per book. Just imagine what we can do with another $50,000! Spread the word -- through email, Facebook, carrier pigeon -- and help Bernie's Book Bank continue to connect children needing books with books needing children! Thanks in advance for your support. Sincerely, |
