KNTR HIKRZ

I’m pleased to post about this great fundraising project for KNTR. It was inspired in some part by my own actions here with Healthy Giving, and it is all in the same spirit – doing healthy things and helping get books to kids! So here’s a bit about a new fundraising project called HIKRZHikers Inspiring Kids to Read Zealously.

New Drawing Prizes

I’m very happy to announce that I have some new prizes to offer as prize drawings at the end of the pledge drive!  The Kids Need to Read Foundation has just sent me some very shiny swag that I think a lot of you (especially comic book fans) will enjoy!

There are three San Diego Comic-Con Limited Edition Serenity: Better Days #1 Exclusive Variant comic books, and one Serenity: Better Days #1 signed by Alan Tudyk!  More info…

Everyone who pledges or makes a donation is eligible for the prize drawing that will occur after May 23.  See this page for more information about the drawing.

Thank you, KNTR!

Statement from KNTR

I received this statement from KNTR’s Executive Director, Denise Gary, after I informed her about my idea for Healthy Giving.

The power of positivity has always been the greatest strength of the Browncoat community. We don’t just think we might be able to do something — we just do it! Healthy Giving exemplifies how the Browncoat can-do spirit leads to great things, in this case, generously using a personal commitment of well-being to reach out and give to a cause for good. The Kids Need to Read Foundation is grateful to Kazia for taking her personal challenge and using it to bring awareness and donations to our fight for childhood literacy.

Kazia, your “kindness is a strength” and we wish you success and great health! Thank you for giving back to Kids Need to Read.

I want to thank Denise for her wonderful words.  I also want to thank everyone at KNTR for being such an amazing group of people and helping inspire me to develop this project.
