Dear Friends,

This August, help support Fall for the Book’s 21st Annual festival, and make your dollar count twice! 

Dallas Hudgens, a writer and publisher who has appeared at Fall for the Book several times over the years, has offered to participate in our match-donation opportunity to raise money for the festival. Between August 1 and August 31, Dallas will match each donation to Fall for the Book dollar-for-dollar up to $3,000.

Your tax-deductible donation will help support all of the festival’s free and open programming. You may also choose to have your donation specifically help authors come in from all around the country with our Support a Writer Fund. Either way, your generous donation will be matched and greatly appreciated!

To get started, scroll down and click “Make a Donation,” or mail a check to the address provided. Gifts of $50 or more add you to our Friends of Fall for the Book program, where you’ll receive great perks!

Thank you for helping us reach our 2019 fundraising goal!

Sincerely,

Kara Oakleaf                                       Suzy Rigdon

Director                                               Festival Manager
