Good Afternoon!

I would like to inquire if you are willing to donate some signed books for a nonprofit organization in Crystal Lake, IL, to help raise funds for special educational programs and equipment that our school budget is not able to afford.

If you are willing to consider, I would be happy to send you a copy of the donation request letter to evaluate. Please let me know if you are interested.

Thank you for your consideration!

Ms. Stockwell,

Thanks for posting. Your cause is certainly a good one. I have no connection with the distribution of my books, but I do know that my publishers are involved in projects such as yours.

Please get in touch with Scholastic Inc., 557 Broadway, New York, NY and Harper Collins Books for Children, 195 Broadway, NY

It's my hope that they will be able to help you. -----Gordon Korman-----

Hello, I work for a non-profit called Savvy Giving by Design (https://savvygivingbydesign.org). We are a national network of interior designers who rebuild interior spaces for children and families facing a medical crisis to strengthen and encourage recovery. Our founding chapter is in San Diego, CA, and our next room recipient is a young girl (11 years old), Gracie, who was diagnosed with leukemia the night after her birthday party in November of 2022. She has a long fight ahead of her. But when we met with her to find out her likes/dislikes and wants/needs for her room, she told us about her love of reading and her favorite authors. Yours was one of the first names she said. We are hoping you might be willing to send a signed copy of a book or even do a video cameo for her so we can include something truly special on the day of her room reveal. If you would consider, please let me know. I am sure it would give a big lift to one of your young book enthusiasts. Thank you.

Megan

PS I read your reply to another request for a book donation and did check with your publisher first. But their website says to ask you directly for signed copies.
