Oprah Winfrey Stephen Colbert Tina Fey Malcolm Gladwell Today’s thinkers need books

So do tomorrow’s

Yet, budget cuts leave schools without the books kids need

Traditional school fundraising sales do not reach many potential supporters “I would gladly help the schools I attended in Miami and my nephew’s school in LA. However, I am in NYC, and the folks selling cookie dough don’t reach me.”

Traditional school fundraising sales squander most available support Time-consuming and disruptive Not tax-deductible Not matched by employers Inefficient ($3.7 B in sales, but only $1.7B goes to the schools) * $2 billion that could have bought school resources goes to pay for the fundraising merchandise, instead Cookie dough, wrapping paper, chocolate, etc. merchandise sales: * Source: Wall Street Journal
