Help Bookmarks UNLOCK our Challenge Grant of $15,000!

Thanks to our Challenge Grant Sponsors:
The Lovett Foundation & Adrienne Amos Livengood

See our progress above - and know that each dollar is being matched. With your help, we can raise $30,000 TOTAL for Bookmarks!

Help Bookmarks, a literary arts nonprofit based in Winston-Salem, NC that inspires a love of reading by connecting readers with authors and books, raise $50,000! The two-week celebration will feature multiple virtual author events and book clubs for a variety of ages in conjunction with the fundraiser, which will include a Challenge Matching grant, a "Date-with-a-Book" Raffle, and over 75 silent auction items. There is no charge to register. 

The Bookmarks Classified "Date-with-a-Book" Raffle will allow participants to choose among 20 titles for a hardcover new book by reading the ad. The classifieds will have an intriguing description of the mystery book for "date night," and each raffle ticket purchased for $40 will allow the participant their chosen book and one entry for 20 prizes. New classifieds will be added regularly over the two-week period with a grand reveal of all book titles on Friday, September 25.   

The raffle, auction, and bidding will end on Saturday, September 26 at 11 a.m. The raffle winners will be announced at noon on Facebook with item pickups beginning at 1 p.m. from Bookmarks.

During these two weeks, Bookmarks will host many reading and writing events online to further celebrate its mission. Events include:

  • Thursday, September 10 - Yaa Gyasi, author of Transcendent Kingdom, in conversation with Bryan Washington
