Looking for a good YA page-turner to give to this year’s Diversity & Inclusion Book Drive? Consider donating a copy of our Book of the Week, "A Blade So Black" by L.L. McKinney!

The first novel in McKinney’s Nightmare-Verse series, "A Blade So Black" is an irresistible urban fantasy retelling of "Alice in Wonderland". The story centers around Black teenager Alice Kingston, who, after the death of her father, becomes a guardian of the portal between Atlanta and Wonderland. Praised by Booklist for “breathing new life and fierce empowerment into Carroll’s classic,” this imaginative Afrofuturist fantasy novel resonates with readers of all ages.

🎶 It's DAF Day, DAF Day! 🎶

We are so excited to be part of DAF Day, a nationwide day of philanthropy that encourages giving through donor-advised funds!

Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the U.S. Last year, 42% of millennials who made a charitable contribution, donated through a DAF and, on average, their donations were larger compared to older DAF donors.

So, if you're in your philanthropy era ... and you know all the original words to this song, it may be the perfect time to set up a DAF of your own!

Head to boysandgirlsaid.org/legacyplanning to learn more about DAFs and to designate Boys & Girls Aid as a recipient in yours today!
