Current Match Campaign: Bernie's Book Bank
In celebration of Jennifer's birthday on September 12, we will be matching donations to Bernie's Book Bank, a local nonprofit dedicated to transforming children’s lives by distributing free high-quality books to children who need them most.Bernie's Book Bank is working to end the literacy crisis, distributing eight books every year to children from birth to sixth grade so they can have a home library of their very own and always have a book within reach. Because of the Book Bank's scale, every $20 raised puts 10 books into children's hands.
