Kids Need to Read Calendar Project
Filed Under Fundraising, Project News
The Kids Need to Read Foundation has big plans for 2010. Fortunately, one of our first projects for next year will help you keep track of all the others. Kids Need to Read is organizing a 2010 calendar project as a fundraiser.
To that end, Kids Need to Read contacted a professional photographer, Allen Patrou of Apatrou Photography (Phoenix, Arizona). He is working with us on a volunteer basis to produce one-of-a-kind pictures that feature children reading in natural settings. This may sound like a simple snapshot calendar, but it is far from it. The images that are being created for this wall calendar are truly unique pieces of art featuring the natural beauty of Arizona, real life kids, and books from the Kids Need to Read book list.
There’s no way to truly put into writing how wonderful these photographs are, and they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so it is probably best to let the art do the talking. Here’s a sample image:
If you’d like to get involved in this project, you can become a sponsor of our calendar by making a donation to Kids Need to Read. Any individual, business, or group who donates $300 to KNTR will be featured on a special sponsor page inside the calendar (including logo, if available). To become a KNTR 2010 calendar sponsor, or to inquire about selling the calendars for Kids Need to Read, please write to info@kidsneedtoread.org. Ask us how you can use the calendar as a fundraiser to help your school library!
Kids Need to Read is excited about this project and hopes that you will join us in supporting reading and photographic art with a sponsorship or by purchasing one of these calendars. We plan to sell the calendar nationally in the KNTR eBay store, at independent bookstores, and at several conventions.
