Fundraising in Your Neighborhood

 

Bess the Book Bus has assembled some wonderfully supportive fundraising ambassadors, we call this philanthropic team Friends of Bess! Would you like to help us spread the of love of reading by hosting a Bess the Book Bus Stop? It’s simple, Friends of Bess support the mission in many ways:

  • Host Jennifer and a volunteer at your home to save money on hotel costs, and/or
  • Host a neighborhood fundraiser and the local children can come pick out a book when they bring a donation to Bess, and/or
  • Organize a Bess the Book Bus visit to your school, each child (for a suggested $5 donation per student) can climb aboard Bess and pick out a book. This idea has worked well for student council groups that are youth-led.

Send an email to info@bessthebookbus.org and we can schedule a Friends of Bess event with you, or register by clicking the button:
