ANN ARBOR, MI—After successfully meeting the matching gift offered by Binc ambassador and best-selling author Amor Towles and other authors/creators, the Book Industry Charitable (Binc) Foundation is extending the Now More Than Ever, I Stand with Stores campaign to reach the stretch goal of $200,000—just another $15,000 to get there.
“We’re so close to meeting our goal,” said Binc Executive Director Pam French. “We’re grateful to the authors and creators and the book and comic lovers who declared their commitment to support their community stores. Every dollar raised truly makes a difference as we’ve seen the requests for help increase 8% over last year and the average amount to resolve a crisis rise. Book and comic people need our support now more than ever.”
