Populus Financial Group, Inc. donates 900 books to Davis Elementary School in Irving, Texas.
Dallas, TX (Feb. 25, 2024) – Populus Financial Group, Inc. (Populus), through its ACE Community Fund, donated 900 new books to the students at Davis Elementary School as part of their Populus Book Day initiative. During the event, Populus employees assisted Davis Elementary School students in selecting a book of their choice at the annual Scholastic Book Fair.
“We are incredibly grateful to Populus Financial Group for their generous donation of $6,600 to purchase Scholastic books which had a profound impact on our students at Davis Elementary,” said Sandy Brown, Librarian at Davis Elementary School. “Access to quality books is essential in fostering a love of reading and learning, and this donation ensures that our students have the resources they need to grow academically and develop a lifelong passion for literacy.”
Scholastic Book Fairs have been a tradition for over 40 years, and last year, they helped distribute over 100 million books to children nationwide. The legacy of Scholastic Book Fairs is to foster lifelong readers and create an engaging community event that excites students and supports their reading journeys.
“Giving back to the community is always rewarding, especially when it benefits young minds,” said Sally Aiello, Vice President, Government Relations at Populus Financial Group. “Our volunteers enjoyed seeing the smiles and excitement when helping the students choose their books. It is so important to make books available to all students.”
This donation was made possible through the ACE Community Fund, Populus’s corporate giving program that focuses on children, education, and financial literacy. Populus Book Day was created to provide books for students in the Irving Independent School District.
