How to Have your kids Giveback : Burlington Book Buddies Program . Each week for the month of August I am going to feature a program where your kids can give to other kids in need. Last weeks post was a huge success? So I am asking to look at your kids books and share them with other kids. It is simple:
Did you know that one-in-four children in America grow up without learning how to read? That’s why Burlington, a national off-price retailer offering designer merchandise up to 65% off department store prices every day, has teamed up with K.I.D.S./Fashion Delivers, a national non-profit organization, and Sprout to launch the first-ever Burlington Book Buddies initiative – a new program designed to help provide children with the opportunity to discover the wonderful world of reading.
Together, from August 1 through Labor Day (September 1, 2014), the partners are inviting customers to donate gently-used or new children’s books at any of the 523 Burlington stores nationwide to benefit local children and their families. For every book donated, Burlington will match up to 55,000 new children’s books through K.I.D.S./Fashion Delivers.
