We Run and Write for a Cause


​The Book Tree represents a passion for reading and the hope for worldwide literacy. We collect new and gently used children's and adult books each year to donate to a local school or a national literacy organization.

In addition to donating books, we will also accept online monetary donations on their behalf. 

2019 Sponsor:
Coming Soon!


2018 Sponsor:
Burke County Literacy Council (NC)
We collected just over 200 books! These books will be placed in doctor's offices, pediatrician offices, and the waiting rooms of Health Department and Social Services buildings as well as in the homes of lower-income families.

​
2017 Sponsor: 
McDowell County School System (NC)
We collected 21 books, including an original signed author copy of one book and $50 in donations.


2016 Sponsor:
Greenville Literacy Association (SC)
Their mission is "to enrich our community by increasing the literacy and employability of our citizens." The books we collected were donated to GLA for local families and also for their annual "The Really Good, Really Big, Really Cheap Book Sale".
