I have been honored and humbled with all the attention and goodwill that the #GreatGreeneChallenge has garnered. So many authors, booksellers, librarians, educators, and friends have stepped up to support the book. I want to do my part as well.
Therefore, I will donate $1.50 for every copy of The Great Greene Heist sold before and during the first week of release to Girlstart, a nonprofit that encourages girls’ interest and engagement in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Specifically, I’ll be supporting their Summer Camp Scholarship fund called Send a Girl To Camp, which helps to sponsor girls for week-long camps focused on STEM programs.
As an engineer, the spouse of a former engineer, and the father of two girls, Girlstart’s mission is very personal to me. Perhaps my girls will become engineers or writers. (Or both!) Maybe they’ll become teachers or lawyers or librarians. Whatever they decide, I just want them to have as many opportunities as possible. Girlstart helps to open up those possibilities.
Please consider buying a book (including personalized books) to help support this program, or make a donation yourself. (Or both!)
(And yes, I said two girls! Baby #2 will make her appearance in early June!)
