Please Support Cannonball Read Today for #GivingTuesday

November 29, 2022 by MsWas 8 Comments

  Thank you so much to all of our donors on Giving Tuesday this year, we exceeded our goal and raised $626.00!

CBR Diversions – Beach Reads and GIFs Galore

June 24, 2022 by MsWas 20 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I definitely need a diversion at the moment, so let’s do as we always do—turn to books.

What books are coming out this summer that you are waiting for with bated breath? Who’s got a pre-order of Carrie […]

Thanks from the American Cancer Society

January 14, 2022 by MsWas Leave a Comment

We received a lovely thank you note from our contact at the American Cancer Society, thanking us for our donations last year. Thanks to two matching donations at the end of the year, Cannonball Read donated $1,080 to ACS in 2021, which brings our total donation to ACS to $9,655. Please consider making a donation to support us this year in our mission to stick it to cancer, one book at a time.
