Touchdowns for Books!

Once again WIP Eagles beat reporter, Eliot Shorr-Parks, is looking to harness Eagles touchdowns for good in our community! For every TD scored in the regular season and (hopefully) through the playoffs, Eliot is asking you to pledge one brand-new book for a kid in Philly.

Tree House Books can get a brand new, reading level appropriate, kid-chosen book into the hands of kids for about $5. They give away these books in their Giving Library on West Susquehanna Avenue off Broad Street in North Philly, and all over the city in their bookmobile: the Traveling Tree House.

Last year, with your help, Eliot was able to raise $8,217 - enough for 1,644 books! Can we top it this year?

Thanks, as always, to our partners at Read by 4th, who help us make reading promises every day in our neighborhood. What's your Reading Promise?
