| AngelBooks, our publisher |
|||||||
| In 2004, AngelWorks underwrote the publication costs of a children's book called "Santa's Stray." The book was distributed by The Lord's Diner, Wichita's soup kitchen, offered in exchange for a suggested donation of $10 each. More than 8,000 books were distributed in just a few months, raising nearly $80,000 for the Diner. Because of that tremendous success, this year, AngelWorks has launched a spinoff, AngelBooks, to further explore the fund-raising potential of book publishing. In 2005, a sequel to Santa's Stray, "A Piano for Christmas," was distributed by Three Trees, Inc., a center that provides free support services to children experiencing grief. Nearly 3,000 books raised $30,000 for the center. In 2006, a third sequel, "All is Bright," will again benefit The Lord's Diner. A "grown-ups''" book called "What Heaven Left Behind," released in 2005, shares its proceeds with more than a half dozen non-profits supported by AngelWorks.
