"Mackenzie's Pages of Hope"
Thank you for your interest in this very special charity.
About 2 years ago, when Mackenzie was 10, she was telling her mom about a Girl Scout project she wanted to do. They started with purchasing books from school book orders to donate to a local children's hospital in Springfield, IL. A local TV station did a story this past December on her and her family delivering the first batch of 80 books to the hosptial and rom there it quickly started to grow bigger than any of them had imagined.
Her local hospital is part of the Children's Miracle Network. The books you are so graciously donating here in Naperville, will go to Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago, which is also a CMN hospital. Eventually, Mackenzies goal is to provide books to all 177 Children's Miracle Network Hospitals in the country!
Per hospital regulations, the books must be new. Our targeted age group is infant through 10 years old but we do need books for teens, too. Our goal is to have 500 books by March 1, 2010. Thank you for helping Mackenzie's dream become a reality... her dream to share her love of reading!
Books are being collected at:
