Celebrate the Inauguration of Barack Obama by Donating a Book to D.C. Students and Schools
The organizations Sallie Mae, Building Hope, and Reading Is Fundamental have joined forces to launch a nationwide book drive celebrating the inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama. The goal of the "Reading Is Presidential" inaugural book drive is to collect more than 44,000 books for Washington, D.C. schools in honor of the historic election of the nation's 44th president.
Every $5 donation made to "Reading Is Presidential" provides one new book to a D.C. public school child, as well as support to RIF’s national mission. Learn more and donate at: https://secure2.convio.net/rif/site/Donation2?idb=1004033955&1880.donation=form1&df_id=1880
