Thanks for your interest in Books ‘n Brunch.

This year, we’re accepting all kinds of books. (But we can always especially use books for kids and young adults!)

We have opportunities for everyone – of any age! – who wants to get involved:
whether volunteering in person, donating your books, organizing a book collection in your community,
being an event sponsor, or helping us cook up those green eggs and ham. (Yes, really!)

HOST A COLLECTION!

Many people like to help by organizing a book collection. It’s fun, easy, and very gratifying. (You’ll be surprised by how many people have great books they’re looking to give to a good, new home!) Plus, it’s a huge help to us!

We have all kinds of tips on how to host a successful book collection. If you’re interested, great! (And yes, people of any age can host a collection.) Click here for more info.

BE AN EVENT SPONSOR!

Do you want to help sponsor this event? Fantastic!

Event sponsors help us get even more books into the hands of even more people. Plus, it allows us to get even more folks engaged in helping others. Sponsorships start at $500 and can be bought by individuals, groups or corporations.  Many corporate sponsors like to send employees and their families, too, which we love.

If you’re interested, please contact berenice@bigsunday.org for more info or follow this link to become a sponsor!
