The 2023 Fall Into A Good Book – ACA Book Drive
_____
🌟 LET’S IGNITE KINDNESS: A Lifeline Against Violence, Depression, and Suicide 🌟
Dear Friends,
As September dawns upon us, it’s not just the falling leaves that capture our attention; it’s the opportunity to fall into a good book and, more importantly, to fall into a world of compassion, resilience, and hope. We are excited to announce the return of our annual “FALL INTO A GOOD BOOK” Kindness Book Drive!
Partner with us at the American Civility Association (ACA) as we embark on a 30-DAY KINDNESS BOOK DRIVE from September 15th to October 14th. The “Fall Into A Good Book” Book Drive is not just about filling bookshelves; it’s about filling hearts and minds with the power of kindness. In a world battling rising violence, depression, and suicide among our children and teens, we firmly believe that kindness is the key to breaking these bonds. In fact, we witness turnarounds through our programs each year.
September is not just any month; it’s Suicide Prevention Month, a reminder of the battles so many young souls face every day. As suicide attempts rise by a staggering 31%, the need for action has never been greater. ACA stands resolute in its commitment to nurturing mentally healthy and strong children.
Through partnerships with esteemed organizations like The Great Kindness Challenge and Wolfson’s Children’s Hospital, we are united in our mission to prevent mental health crises, particularly adolescent suicide. Our arsenal against these challenges is our ACA Kindness books, which are not just books but beacons of hope.
These books are critical tools that equip children with the mental fortitude to navigate life’s tumultuous waters. In a world where children grapple with uncertainties and transitions, our mission is clear: to end bullying and school violence through kindness and suicide prevention education.
But we cannot achieve this mission alone; we need YOU. The need is urgent, and the opportunities to make a difference are boundless. From sponsoring a set of books for a single student at just $20 to transforming an entire school, your generosity has the power to change lives.
Every dollar you contribute strengthens our resolve and broadens our impact. The ACA programs and Kindness books have already demonstrated their effectiveness, but with your support, we can reach even more young minds and make schools safer havens for all.
Your gift isn’t just a donation; it’s a lifeline, a glimmer of hope, and a promise of a brighter future. Stand with us today as we champion kindness and resilience. Together, let’s create a world where our children can thrive.
