Demand Studios donates 16,072 new books

Jan07

Written by Greg P.

In December, Demand Studios, the freelance community that produces web content for LIVESTRONG.COM, eHow, GolfLink, Trails.com and several other sites, invited its members to Write for a Cause – and boy, did they write! In just one month, the writers and editors contributed 128,577 articles. For every 8 articles, Demand Studios is helping us to give one new book to a child in need. In total, 16,072 new books will be donated thanks to the hard work of the Demand Studios team.

Alejandro looking at bookHere at First Book, we are always thrilled and honored when a corporation approaches us and says, “We want to help you get more books to more children in need!” When Demand Studios came to us in the fall and told us that their writers and editors wanted to get involved in the fight against illiteracy, we knew that we were about to connect with a very special group of people.

Thank you, Demand Studios, for your commitment to First Book and your dedication to helping children in need. You have made the future brighter for thousands of children in 2010!
