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 other non-profits, such as the Reading
Council and Friends of the Library, 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.

of each book sold that will be donated to the Book 'Em Foundation. |
