Looking to jumpstart the day without a caffeine buzz? Pi Beta Phi has a great alternative to spending $5 on your morning cup of coffee — donate to give new books to kids in need instead! Together with First Book, Pi Beta Phi members, alumnae and friends have teamed up to help raise 50,000 new books for children in need across the country.

In celebration of The Cat in the Hat’s 50th birthday, and in conjunction with the Fraternity’s 2007 Day of Service, Pi Beta Phi is hosting a Virtual Book Drive. Log on to Firstbook.org/pibetaphi this week (through March 2nd), to learn how you can help provide new books to children in need.

To make it even sweeter, everyone who donates will be eligible to win one of 100 Starbucks gift cards that Pi Phi will raffle off at the end of the initiative. Be sure to spread the word, this opportunity ends soon!
