CHILDREN’S HOME SOCIETY
Raises $125,000 through the Christmas Book Project

This past fall Children’s Home Society (CHS) launched Tom Roberts’ book, The Little Lost Sock, which was sold along with his other two books, Santa’s Prayer and ‘Twas the Night Before Christ throughout the state. Since 2002, this project has not only raised money for its programs and services, but also awareness of the CHS mission.

Because of the generous support from Jim Brummond, illustrator of The Little Lost Sock, Maximum Graphics- print donation, and a host of sponsors, 100% of the sales from The Little Lost Sock and the first two books will help Children’s Home Society provide care for over 2,000 kids in need each year all across South Dakota.

In addition to creative/production assistance, tremendous support was received from regional media partners including; The Argus Leader, Backyard Broadcasting, KELO TV and Midcontinent Communications.

CHS also partnered with over 80 retailers, schools, service organizations, churches and businesses throughout South Dakota to sell books and create awareness of the work CHS does.

The result…in 2011, over 7,300 books (The Little Lost Sock, Santa’s Prayer and ‘Twas the Night Before Christ) were sold and the net amount raised was over $125,000.

We appreciate all of those who helped through donations, book sales or by purchasing a Christmas book.
