Have you heard about our amazing program with Northwestern Athletics and Bernie’s Book Bank?
Rose Pest Solutions and their partners at Northwestern University Athletics and Bernie’s Book Bank have joined forces for the 4th consecutive year. Books for Buckets is BACK! Books for Buckets is a book donation program to encourage literacy throughout the community. To date, Rose has donated 17,582 books to at-risk children throughout Chicagoland through Bernie’s Book Bank with this program. We can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together this next basketball season!
Books For Buckets Kickoff
Hey Wildcats Fans! We’re kicking off our 4th annual Wildcat Alley Book Drive at Northwestern University’s football game against Iowa on November 6th!
Come see us and bring some books while you’re tailgating before the game!
How To Participate
Help us encourage literacy in our communities by donating gently used children’s books! We ask that the books are in good condition (i.e. proper binding, no holes or ripped pages), and are age-appropriate for children birth-6th grade. Bernie’s Book Bank asks: Please, no books pertaining to holidays and religion and no textbooks.
For every 6 children’s books donated, you’ll get a free Northwestern men’s basketball ticket!
