Borders and Waldenbooks are committed to spreading knowledge and encouraging a lifelong love of learning. Books, music and movies connect people to the wider world — so does lending a hand through CARE.

Together, CARE and Borders and Waldenbooks are helping the world's poorest communities get the tools, knowledge and other resources they need to solve problems and change their lives for good.

A quality education is a great resource to beat poverty. But for millions of people — especially women and girls — getting an education is next to impossible. That's why CARE works to improve educational opportunities in poor communities — leading to better incomes, healthier families, and possibilities people never imagined. We're thrilled to have Borders and Waldenbooks working by our side.

Now you can get involved and show your commitment to spreading knowledge and fighting poverty! Just go to any Borders or Waldenbooks store and buy a purple "Reading is Magic" wristband for $2. Borders and Waldenbooks will donate the net proceeds ($1.60 per wristband) to CARE.
