Library Quilt

Enter to Win a Handmade Quilt and Give 12 Books to a Child

,

Update 1/1/2022

D41 Kids raised $11,124 on the quilt raffle with 412 tickets sold to 135 entrants.

In May, to support the work of the Glen Ellyn District 41 Schools, we established a Dolly Parton Imagination Library affiliate serving all children from birth through age 4 who live within the District 41 school boundaries. Free personalized, age-appropriate books are mailed to every registered child each month. The program is free to parents and guardians, being funded solely by the D41 Kids Foundation’s generous donors.

Since its launch, we have raised $18,614, and registered 343 students for this program, hoping to register another 285 by July of 2022. 

D41 Kids recently launched Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Please help us fund this endeavor so that all our children can receive the gift of literacy.
For only $27.00, a child receives 12 personalized books a year. That’s right! For the cost of less than 4 lattes at Starbucks, you can gift 12 books to a child! And it’s tax deductible!!!


For a limited time, the D41 Kids Foundation will assign you  one raffle ticket for every child you sponsor for the chance to win a gorgeous D41 Kids Foundation Imagination Library Quilt made by Dr. Lynn Bruno! That’s the potential of 2 gifts for $27.00 – 12 books to a child and a warm and cuddly quilt to gift to your favorite child!

As Dolly says, “You can never get enough books into the hands of enough children.”

 You know it’s true! And for $27 a child, it’s absolutely possible!

Dolly Parton Reading to Kids

D41 Kids launches Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program

,

The D41Kids Foundation is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the world-renowned Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to bring a local affiliate program to incoming District 41 children.
Imagination Library books are specially-selected, age-appropriate, high-quality books delivered to registered children each month from birth to age five. These books are personalized with the child’s name and mailed directly to the child to create a gifting experience that makes books exciting and to help each child begin the building of their very own home library.

WHO:

Any child who lives within the District 41 boundaries between birth and age 5 can register.

WHAT:

Free books are mailed to each qualified program registrant each month. The program is funded by the D41Kids Foundation’s generous donors. (If you would like to become one of those donors, we are holding a special raffle of a one of a kind quilt – perfect for curling up with a good book.

WHY:

Dolly Parton’s vision is to create a lifelong love of reading, prepare children for school and inspire them to dream. The presence of books in the home supports the child’s academic, social, and emotional development and by reading together, children develop a special bond with their parents and caregivers. At no cost to families, there is absolutely no downside to registering your child!
