About Us

ReadBAMARead is a non-profit organization that was formed within weeks of the devastating April 27, 2011 tornado outbreak that not only ripped through the heart of Tuscaloosa and surrounding cities, but also completely devastated local school libraries. The mission of ReadBAMARead is simply to replace more than 280,000 school library books that were destroyed by the tornado.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel about the Oklahoma tornado. In sorrow, we mourn those lost. In gratitude, we embrace those around us. In sympathy, we reach out to those who grieve.



OUR GOAL:

Library style books cost approximately $15-20 each. Our goal is to raise $150,000 in order to have funds for the libraries to purchase approximately 10,000 books. We want contributors to know that their donations are for a specific need and at the same time they are facilitating the education of the young children that benefit from our foundations gifts.
