#ReadLoveSupportBinc

Dear Friend,

Today you can help your favorite bookseller or comic retailer!

Booksellers and comic retailers have faced tremendous hardships during the events of the past two years while meeting the needs of their communities with creativity and compassion. They did this while facing unprecedented personal challenges that affected their own household financial stability.

You can help them today!

Join Binc in our #ReadLoveSupportBinc challenge. This challenge is a great way for you to honor the significant role book and comic stores play in your life and to ensure Binc has the funds to continue being their safety net.

You can spread gratitude for all they have done, awareness of the challenges they are facing, and support them by helping to reach our goal of raising $100,000.

Thank you to all our supporters who helped us reach the first 25% of our goal in three days!
