Not About The
Buildings
Summer
Read-A-Thon
Info Page
This summer, Not About The Buildings organized a
fundraiser for the Providence chapter of Books Through Bars, a really
great local organization that sends books to people in prison.
Twenty-one local readers volunteered to read as many
books as they possibly could this summer, and a whole bunch of other
people offered to sponsor their reading habits. The result?
Over one hundred people raising over $2,500 for Books Through
Bars! The money
raised will go towards shipping costs, which add up
quickly for an organization that gets dozens of book requests from
prisoners each week.
None of this would have been possible without the
readers and sponsors, though, so a big big big big big big thank you
must go out to the following people:
