Pass The Book Project is a concept taken upon by a sophomore girl in high school, her goal was to help fund researches on uncommon diseases, and educate those around her about those diseases, while making a difference. Currently, PTBP is helping raise money for DIPG, Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, a rare brain tumor disease typically found in children from the ages of 5 to 10. The collaborative fundraiser works simply through the passing of sketchbooks. The project starts as we take a sketchbook, and fill the first page with any kind of art that spans from paintings, drawings, to stories, or even lyrics. After the first page is finished, we will hand the book to a family, friend, or even a stranger on the street, whomever we believe will take care of the book responsibly. After the next individual has received the book, they will repeat the same pattern, filling the next page with any work of art, and when they are finished, they will pass the book on to someone else. The cycle will go on for sometime until the last recipient has obtained the book. After they have finished the last page of the book, they will then send the book to the address which is located on the back inside cover of the sketchbook. When received, the book will then be held up for auction on Ebay's Giving Works: Charity Listings. All proceeds of the book’s final sale price excluding shipping and material cost will be donated towards The Cure Starts Now Foundation, an organization dedicated to researching a cure for all cancers, starting first with pediatric brain cancer.
What Can You Do? :
Words have become one of the most empowering skills humans today are able to obtain. By spreading the word about DIPG in our society, you can make a difference. Become our voice, like our page and invite others too in taking a stand for the children of DIPG. As Aesop says, “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”
