Powell's Schoolbook Challenge
HELP US HELP OUR SCHOOLS!

Powell's wants to put 50,000 new books onto Portland and Beaverton school library shelves, but we need your help. Are you up for the challenge?
HOW IT WORKS
 
You buy a book pledge for $5.95, good toward ONE book for public school libraries.
Powell's buys TEN more books for public school libraries.
You just donated ELEVEN books to area schools!

Sorry, but this year's Schoolbook Challenge has ended.

THE FINE PRINT:
Portland and Beaverton Public Schools, charitable organizations exempt under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3), provide no goods or services to you in consideration of this gift. All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Please retain your dated printed receipt for your tax records.

Schoolhouse Supplies This program benefits from the support of Schoolhouse Supplies, a sponsored project of the Portland Schools Foundation.

Special thanks to the following community businesses for their generous support of this program:
Hot Lips Pizza 94/7 fm Willamette Week
