We are full of gratitude for this massive donation that will have a major impact on our community! Book ownership leads to more reading, better reading fluency and better outcomes in school and life. Thank you PLS for including QCBB in this special day that uplifts our community!
10,000+ BOOKS. ONE RECORD-BREAKING YEAR! 🤯📚🍋
This year, our Payton’s Lemonade Stand hosts and communities collected more than 10,000 books, bringing our four-year total to 28,000+ books donated to @QCBookBank! ❤️
But as incredible as those numbers are, what they REALLY mean is even bigger.
They mean thousands of kids will get to choose a fun, new-to-them book and discover a new story, a new adventure, a new favorite character, or maybe even a new love of reading. They mean more kids having books to call their own and more opportunities to get lost in the pages of something they love. 📖❤️
We’re so proud that our lemonade hosts and their communities have made reading a part of our summer tradition of giving back. 🍋📚
To every child who collected books, every family who donated, and every community that showed up—THANK YOU! We can’t wait to see where all 28,000+ books take these kids.
Together, we’re sweetening the lives of children facing hardships while empowering kids to discover the joy of giving back.
