This sounds like a great event for a great cause! Here are details:
WHEN: December 3, 2013 through January 3, 2014
WHERE: The Splendid Store, 4999 Old Orchard Center, Skokie, IL, 60077
WHAT: Los Angeles-based brand Splendid® is excited to announce the launch of a nationwide holiday book drive for Milk + Bookies benefiting local Boys & Girls Clubs, December 3, 2013 through January 3, 2014.
In honor of the season of giving, families are encouraged to bring new or gently used books to Splendid® stores to donate to children without access to books of their own. To add to the giving-back experience, donators will be able to inscribe their donated books with a description about what they love about reading. Plus, each participant will receive an I DONATED sticker, to reinforce the amazing feeling that comes with giving to someone else.
As an added incentive, Splendid is offering each participant a free “stripe” in the brand’s popular “Earn Your Stripes” loyalty program for each book donated. Those extra-generous givers donating 5 books or more are rewarded with 50% off a single Splendid item.
Milk + BookiesTM is a nationwide charitable organization that inspires children to give back, using books as its currency. The organization facilitates opportunities for children to raise book donations and give back to their peers who do not have access to books of their own. Splendid has long been a supporter of Milk + Bookies and is thrilled to help further their message.
