gamechanger’s first annual children’s book drive

March 24, 2014 by Inside Press

A Westchester-based, free referral service – gamechanger – is running its first annual book drive, collecting new and gently used books, on behalf of the Ossining Children’s Center. The book drive began on March 1 and continues through April 15.  gamechanger helps parents find highly qualified tutors, teachers, and coaches.

“In our continuing pursuit to help children feel successful, we are sponsoring a book drive. The importance of reading is repeatedly stressed, but we realize that not every child has easy access to books,” states gamechanger co-founder, Marilyn Rifkin.  Reading enhances concentration, world awareness, and brain activity, all of which help to make children more successful as students. Ultimately, this is gamechanger’s objective–to help create a well-rounded, confident and successful child.

Thus far, gamechanger has collected nearly 300 books for the children at the Ossining Children’s Center, and is hoping to collect at least 500 books by the end of the book drive.  “With the support of the Westchester community, we know we will achieve this goal,” notes co-founder Deborah Notis.
