Get Involved Now!What's a "Blind Date with a Book"?
It's a simple, exciting, and heartwarming way to raise funds for Team Mikayla while sharing the joy of reading! We gather new and gently-used books, wrap them up to hide their covers, and add a tantalizing clue about the story inside. You pick your "date" based on the clue, make a donation, and unwrap your literary surprise!
This isn't just about finding a new book; it's an experience. It's about the thrill of the unknown, the joy of discovery, and the knowledge that your participation directly supports Team Mikayla's mission.
