Blind Date with a Book

By Fundraising, General

Are you ready to fall in love with your next great read? Join us for a literary adventure that supports a great cause with our “Blind Date with a Book” fundraiser!

What is Blind Date with a Book? Imagine going on a date without knowing your date’s name or face. Now imagine that date is with a book! Each book is wrapped to keep its identity a secret, with only a few intriguing hints on the cover to guide your choice. No judgments based on cover art, title, or author—just the thrill of the unknown and the promise of a journey with new characters.

Why You Should Participate Not only is this a fun and creative way to read outside your usual genres, but every book you purchase helps fund Book Drive for Kids. Your curiosity will empower children to experience the anticipation of a new read, too!

How It Works

  1. Visit our Blind Date with a Book link here OR contact [email protected] to schedule a “pop-up”. 
  2. Browse our collection of mysterious, pre-wrapped books.
  3. Read the clues and pick the one that calls to you.
  4. Make a donation (suggested amount: $10 or $15 if shipping is required).
  5. Take your book home and unwrap your surprise literary match!

Bonus: Share the Love! Once you’ve unwrapped your book, share your experience on social media using #GrabABookGiveABook and tag us at @book.drive.for.kids. Your post could inspire someone else’s next favorite book!

Whether you’re a bibliophile or a casual reader, Blind Date with a Book is a unique and meaningful way to support a good cause. Join us and let the pages lead you on a new adventure!

Volunteer Highlight – Firestone Automotive

Volunteer Spotlight

Firestone Automotive - Flower Mound

When the Book Drive for Kids’ van needed four new tires, we knew who to call! Firestone Complete Auto Care has served Flower Mound residents for many years and our family has been taking vehicles for more than a decade.  They pride themselves on great customer service and fine workmanship as well as great community spirit.

When asked why he was willing to help Book Drive for Kids, the manager Tim Patrick said, “My Mom always gave to the Special Needs programs in our community and I like to follow her example.”  Thank you, Tim, for caring about those who need a little extra help and keeping us driving safely around DFW.
