We are promoting awareness about the need for children to have more books to read, both in and out of school. This book fair helps us also to raise money so we can purchase new books for children in need throughout Collier County —
“Whether customers purchase a book or a Nook, or a coffee from the cafe’, a portion of the day’s proceeds (from midnight to midnight) will benefit K is for Kids — all the person has to do is MENTION K IS FOR KIDS AT THE CASH REGISTER.
A Bring a Book, Bring a Friend Fun’raiser, this event also helps us collect books — new and gently used books are welcome (so invite everyone to dust off their book shelves and bring a book for a child). An extra raffle ticket will be given for each book — (a basket of books that Mayor Bill Barnett will draw for the lucky winner at the end of the day).
This event will have the following fun’raising stations set up for children — plus there are areas and activities for our teen volunteers. Look at the flyer about the event (click here) Flyer for K is for Kids Fun’raiser and Book Fair and here on our eNews to gather more “intel” — here are some of the opportunities for you:
* Teen representative(s) — helping other teens to sign in; checking on them at stations, etc.
