FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CHILDREN'S BOOK PROGRAM ENCOURAGES READING AND GIVES MONEY
BACK TO WORTHWHILE ORGANIZATIONS AT THE SAME TIME
Broward County, FL - Deanna Bufo Novak, South Florida author
of the personalized children's book,
My Heritage Book, is
helping raise money for schools, Parent Teacher Organizations,
parents' groups, and other educational and charitable
organizations throughout the country with her unique
children's book.
While the fundraising program encourages children to read and
learn more about their family's heritage, it also benefits the
children by giving money back to the educational organization
involved. Through the program, Novak's company, kidsHeritage,
Inc. donates $5.00 back to the organization for each book sold
through its efforts for the entire 2007-2008 school year.
Whether sold at fundraising events or simply by passing along
a coupon code to be used on the website, the program is an
easy and efficient way to raise money, while, at the same
time, providing educational gifts for children.
"My Heritage Book is both a wonderful keepsake and a great
educational tool. My students consider it a very special gift
since it is personalized and show a new sense of pride when
they talk about their heritage. The fact that the sales of the
books give back to the school is such an added benefit," said
Candace Munoz, a teacher at the JKF Magnet School in New York.
The fundraising program was implemented in the 2005-2006
school year and was met with great success. With participating
schools and organizations in Florida, New York, California,
Illinois, and other states, the program helped to raise
hundreds of dollars for those involved. It is anticipated that
the 2007-2008 school year will produce even more success,
ultimately bringing more funds back to the children.
"It is really refreshing when a school has an opportunity to
generate money through such a unique program," said Danielle
Yoldas, a Pine Crest School parent. "I would much rather
promote this product instead of candy sales or wrapping paper
sales, which are all too common these days for school
fundraisers. My Heritage Book is such a beautiful keepsake and
several parents I know agree."
In My Heritage Book, children can learn about the countries
from which their ancestors came and traditions they brought to
America. Each book is made to order and can combine up to four
countries. Customers have continuously requested new countries
since the book's launch in 2005. Due to this overwhelming
response, there are now more than fifty countries available
for inclusion in the book, with additional countries in
progress. The countries spotlight fun and educational topics
which include geography, food, language, music, landmarks, and
traditions, each beautifully illustrated. In addition, each
book contains a letter to the child from the person(s)
purchasing the book, the child's name throughout, and space
for the child to fill in his/her own family's traditions and
family tree. All of these features make
My Heritage Book a
truly unique and wonderful keepsake for each child who
receives it.
Whether you are interested in purchasing a book or a matted
reprint of one of the illustrations from each country as a
gift or signing up for the My Heritage Book Fundraising
Program, simply visit www.myheritagebook.com or call
954-236-2843 or 866-383-7833 (Toll Free).
My Heritage Book is
also available at Flora Ottimer Children's Boutique, Fort
Lauderdale, Florida; Flora Ottimer Children's Boutique, Banner
Elk, North Carolina; the Paper Niche, Plantation, Florida; DE
Kids, Estero, Florida; Salon Uccelli, Mahopac, New York; and a
