Ssalefish GSO First Look #84 for 11.14.18
Today I want to talk to you for a bit about the Comics 4 Kids program that we launched last year in conjunction with Geeksboro Battle Pub! Throughout 2016 & 2017, Geeksboro raised money through various fundraisers, and then used those proceeds and matched donations from Ssalefish to coordinate with us and purchase four individual Free Comic Book Day comics for 2,000 kids throughout Guilford, Forsyth, and Davidson County! As the press release I linked to says, this year we’d like to double that output to 4,000 kids, which breaks down to the need of raising approximately $4K.
Even though Free Comic Book Day isn’t until May, our orders are due in January, and by then we have to get an idea of what we’re going to be able to accomplish towards our goal, so our first event will be held on December 9th!
To start, we ask that you donate any comics that you no longer have a use or room for to Geeksboro or either Ssalefish location throughout the month of November (all donations will come with a receipt for your tax deductions since the books are going to benefit North Carolina public schools). We’ll take all of the books from all three locations out to the warehouse and collate them into one alphabet. Then on Sunday, December 9th, we’ll bring all of those books to the special events room at Geeksboro (now located at 2618 Lawndale Drive) and sell them for just $1 each, with 100% of the sales going towards the above-mentioned spreading of comic book cheer! Any leftover comics will be passed on to another charitable organization (a previous donation was made to the USO of North Carolina at Fort Bragg).
We hope you’ll help us on either side of the equation (or both) in making this dream a reality for thousands of elementary-age children at Title-1 schools across the Piedmont!
