What If We Were All Generous! — A Story That Inspires Giving From the Heart

 

🍽️ How It Works

 

All you have to do is mention the fundraiser at the register when ordering in person, or use code RCFUND96 when ordering online or through the app. That’s it!

 

Raising Cane’s will donate 15% of net sales from your order directly to:
    •    Purple Diamond Press – to help fund free books, author visits, and educational  for local Title 1 schools
    •    For the Children – Santa Ana Chapter – to support mentoring and trauma-informed advocacy for children in foster care and vulnerable communities

 

This partnership brings together two powerful missions: promoting literacy and inclusion through books, and providing hope and healing for children in need.

📚 Why It Matters

 

At Purple Diamond Press, our mission is simple: publish books that make a difference. From stories about kindness, friendship, and acceptance to our new SEL (Social Emotional Learning) kits and classroom resources, we believe books have the power to transform lives—especially for children who feel unseen or unheard.

 

Our nonprofit partner, For the Children, works year-round to support vulnerable youth through mentorship, court advocacy, and community programming. Their trauma-informed approach makes a lasting impact on kids who need stability and care.

 

This one-day fundraiser will help both organizations continue providing:
    •    Free books and curriculum kits to underfunded schools
    •    Empowering experiences that remind every child they are seen, heard, and valued
