Binc and Macmillan Publishers Announce $10,000 Matching Gift to Help Book and Comic People Affected by Hurricane Helene and Other Disasters
Thanks to Macmillan Publishers, gifts made to the Book Industry Charitable (Binc) Foundation will have double the impact. Macmillan will match all gifts, regardless of size, up to $10,000 to meet the needs of the more than 200 bookstores and comic shops and thousands of store employees potentially impacted by Hurricane Helene. Binc has already received 15 calls for help from book and comic people in the path of destruction?more than 500 miles across six states.
?We are already hearing from book and comic people who are traumatized, unable to find friends and family, and without water and electricity,? said Binc Executive Director Pam French, ?and we know there will be more stores in need of disaster relief as the waters recede, the cleanup begins, and cell phone signals return. We are grateful for our friends at Macmillan for their willingness to partner with us in support of bookstores and comic shops.?
The foundation receives requests every day from book and comic store employees and owners experiencing unforeseen emergency financial, medical and mental health hardships, and has helped stores around the country recover after natural disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, floods, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Double the impact of a gift to Binc by donating today.
A Note from Michael:
"Harry Bosch says everybody counts or nobody counts. I think he would agree that every bookstore counts, too. The DNA of our society and culture is in our books, our stories. I want to help make sure the places and people who put those books in our hands get through difficult times. You can help, too, with this fundraising effort. You can help independent bookstores survive and carry Harry Bosch?s message to the world. You won?t regret it." - Michael Connelly
