The purpose of the Book 'Em Event is to raise public awareness of the connection between high
illiteracy rates and high crime rates. Throughout the
year, the Book 'Em Foundation partners with non-profits, such as the Reading
Council, to increase literacy rates in the community,
and with non-profits such as Crime Stoppers, who help
police solve crimes by paying anonymous callers for
information. The Book
'Em Foundation is also involved directly with the Waynesboro Police
Department and will be working directly with the
community, courts, and law enforcement in efforts to
decrease crime and increase literacy rates.
However, we do not
receive ANY money from taxpayer dollars. ALL of the
Foundation's money comes from private donations and fund-raising activities.
Therefore, we are asking that each author donate a
portion of each book sold during the event to the
Book 'Em Foundation. The minimum donation is 40%, which
is the minimum discount to retailers. Many publishers
have been very generous in donating 100% of the book
sales to the Foundation. |
