About this Event

Read the details below 👇😊

🎟️ $5 RSVP REQUIRED! 🎟️ THIS EVENT IS FOR ALL AGES

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Whether we like it or not, we all have varying levels of mental health, and it’s important to honor the things that support us. Books provide a safe place to see ourselves on pages, to see a happy ending, to provide courage that things can get better.Neighbors provide community, and we need each other now more than ever. That’s why we are donating a portion of our proceeds from this event to a local organization https://www.thecollectivecoalitionsandiego.org/ in San Diego that continues to support building mental health for our neighbors.

$3 OF EVERY TICKET SOLD FOR THIS EVENT WILL BE DONATED TO THE COALITION COLLECTIVE :)

Step 1: 📖 Please bring at least one book to participate, feel free to bring more if you'd like
