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, schools, courts,
and law enforcement in efforts to decrease crime and
increase literacy rates.
Therefore,
we are asking that each author donate a portion of
each book sold during the event to the Book 'Em
Foundation. We are requesting that the minimum donation
be 40%, which is the minimum discount to retailers. Many
publishers have been very generous in donating 100% of
the book sales to the Foundation. |
