Become a The Golden Hoops Bookstore of Choice

Celebrate literacy, representation, and your community with The Golden Hoops.

The Golden Hoops National Book Drive is committed to getting thousands of signed copies of Jen Hayes Lee’s debut children’s book into the hands of children across the country — while also supporting the booksellers who bring diverse stories to life every day.

We’re inviting bookstores and booksellers to join us as potential Bookstores of Choice for our campaign

What It Means to Be a Bookstore of Choice

When sponsorship dollars are raised for a giveaway in your region, we may select your store as our purchase partner — meaning we’ll buy directly from you to supply books for that event.

  • Bookstore of Choice perks include:

    • Recognition as a campaign partner on our website and social media

    • Spotlight mentions in event content and post-event communications

    • Opportunities to host a Golden Hoops Author Visit or community giveaway event

    • Priority consideration for future campaigns and bulk purchase orders

Why I Value Bookstore Partners

  • Community Champions: You connect readers to stories that inspire, educate, and reflect who they are.

  • Diversity Advocates: Many of you work tirelessly to ensure BIPOC and women authors are represented on your shelves.

  • Local Economy Support: Partnering ensures that campaign dollars flow back into the communities we serve.

💛 All donations and sponsorships are 100% tax deductible through our fiscal sponsor, Zora’s House.
