We are thrilled to share that Book Fairies is fast approaching a monumental milestone our 5 Millionth Book Distributed! This historic event will take place on November 14th at Northwest Elementary School in Amityville. In celebration of this achievement, we are launching a $50,000 Matching Gift Challenge to raise critical funds to continue our mission of spreading literacy to underserved communities. Double Your Impact: From now until the end of 2024, every dollar you donate will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000, thanks to the generous support of our matching donor, the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation. That means your gift will go twice as far, helping us distribute more books to children and adults who need them most.
