Thanks for making it a Better World, DC!

October 17th, 2007 by Erin T. · No Comments

15,000 books on day oneWe asked, and you answered.  Thank you to everyone who donated books to our recent Better World book drive and to our incredible partners who made this possible: SunTrust Mortgage, SunTrust Bank, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Better World Books.   Through your generosity, we received more than 15,000 books!  The books were collected from the drop-off points at SunTrust Bank locations, sorted, and sent to Better World Books to be sold online.   All of the proceeds will help fund brand-new books for children in need in the DC area.  If you have been looking for a great classic, rare book, or recent bestseller, go to www.betterworld.com/firstbook to check out the selection.
