Nerds For Literacy has raised $200,000 so far!!!

Hello Friends,

Tony Weaver, Jr. here with some incredible news. Nerds For Literacy has officially reached our $200,000 fundraising goal!!

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared the campaign, and helped us get here. Because of you and your generosity, we can continue putting books into the hands of young readers and supporting under-resourced schools and libraries across the country.

But we’re not done yet! We’re now pushing toward our $250,000 stretch goal, which would allow us to build a brand-new library for a school that does not currently have one.

We’ve come this far together, and I’m excited to see what we can accomplish next. Thank you for believing in this mission and in the young readers we’re fighting for.

Stay Weird,

Tony Weaver Jr.

Nerds For Literacy has raised over $150,000 so far!!!

Tony Weaver Jr. here from Weird Enough Productions with another exciting update on Nerds For Literacy!

Thanks to your support, we have officially reached $150,000 toward our $200,000 goal! We’re halfway there, and I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has donated, shared the campaign, and helped us spread the word.

The campaign has also continued to grow beyond what we could have imagined. So many incredible creators have joined us in supporting Nerds For Literacy, including Ms. Rachel, and their support is helping us reach new audiences and bring even more attention to the importance of getting books into the hands of young people.

But there’s still work to do. We have 2 weeks left to reach our $200,000 goal, which will allow us to continue supporting under-resourced schools and libraries across the country. And remember, our $250,000 stretch goal could help us build a brand-new library for a school that doesn’t currently have one.

If you’re in the Miami area, we’re having an event at North Miami Public Library on September 18th, from 7pm-9pm where the first 150 kids will receive a free book!

We’ve already come so far, and I’m excited to see what we can accomplish together over these final few weeks. Thank you for continuing to believe in Nerds For Literacy and in the young readers at the heart of this mission.

Stay Weird,

Tony Weaver Jr.

Over $60,000 raised!

Hello Friends,

Tony Weaver Jr. here from Weird Enough Productions with a major update on Nerds For Literacy Year Two!

Thanks to your support, we have officially raised $60,000 toward our $200,000 goal! That means we’re already one quarter of the way there, and I couldn’t be more grateful for everyone who has donated, shared the campaign, or helped spread the word.

The momentum behind this year’s campaign has also opened some incredible doors. We’ve been able to reach out to creators like Ms. Rachel, and so many other creators have already joined the cause to help us get even more people excited about the mission. Seeing this community come together has been one of the most exciting parts of Year Two so far.

BUT we still have a long way to go!

There are hundreds of schools waiting for support, and our $250,000 stretch goal could allow us to build an entirely new library for a school that doesn’t have one. Every donation and every share gets us closer to making that possible.

Again, thank you so much for helping us get to $60,000!

There’s still plenty of time to join us and help give more young people access to stories that can change their lives.

Stay Weird,

Tony Weaver Jr.

Nerds For Literacy has raised $50,000 so far!!!

Hello Friends!

Tony Weaver, Jr. here with our first big update!

So far, we've raised over $50,000 towards our $200,000 goal! I use the word "we" because this is something that all of us accomplished. Your individual gifts encouraged others to do the same, and now, we're well on our way to raising $200,000, and putting free books into the hands of students. We only have six weeks, and its going to go by fast, so please share the campaign with your friends and family. Honestly...you can share it with your enemies too. You all might bond over fighting childhood illiteracy!

Thank you so much for your efforts to get kids reading. This is only the beginning.

Tony.
