“First Book is thrilled to partner with this year’s Whales for a Cause campaign,” said Kyle Zimmer President and CEO of First Book. “We know that education offers children from low-income families a proven path out of poverty. I can’t thank our partners vineyard vines and Simon & Schuster enough for working with us to engage families across the country and providing the critical resource of new books to those needing them the most.”
Continuing the brand’s mission to serve the community, vineyard vines’ Whales for a Cause campaign annually selects a notable cause to support. This year’s campaign follows behind past partnerships with Connecticut’s Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk to help preserve the marine resource and Pajama Program, a non-profit providing new pajamas and books to children in need.
