Back to School – Get Sox for your Books!

It's back-to-school time, and time to cover those textbooks to keep them fresh and clean.

BookSox are stretchy fabric book covers with delightful designs. When you purchase them through the mail or web, you can designate VHLFA as your favorite charity, and they will donate one dollar for each book cover ordered. We are registered with them as Cancer Research Fund - VHL.

Each of you can begin your own fund-raising efforts locally by requesting advertising materials from Book Sox, at no charge! There are large posters with tabs at the bottom where we will write our organization number (02445-100). The student, teacher, Rabbi, Priest etc., can take the tab for their reference when ordering.

There are also smaller handouts which can be requested with our number already printed on them. Karen A., New Jersey, ordered 1000 and arranged to distribute them in her school district, in the hope that the child’s mom or dad will use it when they purchase their book covers.

These flyers can be placed in supermarkets, at the gym or at your church or synagogue. Just ask permission, first. The opportunities are endless. Be creative!

To request flyers, call Carole Meisse at 1-800-930-2241 or write to carolem at booksox.com. Give her our organization number “02445-100”, the number of flyers you need, and the address to mail them directly to you.

BookSox can also be ordered online at
www.booksox.com. To select us, enter “VHL” and choose the Cancer Research Fund – VHL.
