The more you know, the more you grow! 🌱💚

Youth attending this year’s Teen Conference are encouraged to bring a new or gently used book(s) to help support a local children’s hospital.

Can’t attend Teen Conference but still want to help? We welcome donations from anyone who would like to send books along with participating youth or county groups! 🍀

Every book shared can help bring comfort, imagination, and joy to a young person spending time in the hospital. PLUS, donations will help regions earn points in the annual spirit competition!

Small acts of kindness can make a big impact. 💚
