Busam Subaru's “Share the Love” Event

For the past eight years, Busam Subaru has selected us as the hometown beneficiary of their annual Share the Love initiative!  Subaru donated $250 to the purchaser’s choice of charity for any new vehicle purchased or leased from Busam Subaru.  This year’s event raised $23,230 – bringing the eight-year total to over $212,000! Thank you to Busam Subaru for your generosity and for creating a stronger, more literate community!

M. Hopple Cityart Holiday Card Contest

Congratulations to Maureen Born, Queen City Book Bank volunteer and talented artist, for winning the M. Hopple & Co. Cityart Holiday Card Contest this year! We are incredibly grateful that Maureen selected QCBB as the beneficiary of the card sales. A percentage of the proceeds from card sales benefitted the QCBB.

A heartfelt thank you to Morgan Busam and M. Hopple & Co. for creating such a wonderful opportunity for local artists, and to Maureen for her ongoing support of literacy!
