Ardmore Toyota has quite a history of community involvement, and the dealership’s latest efforts tackle an issue that is at the forefront of society today: Police and community relations.
Ardmore Toyota has made a donation to support a former employee in publishing a children’s book about improving relationships between police and the communities in which they serve. And we’d love for you to also make a donation to help see this project through.
Funding Nahjee Grant’s Next Children’s Book
Aron Goes to the Police Academy is the latest work of Nahjee Grant, a former Ardmore Toyota employee and civic leader who has gone on to publish 12 children’s books including Aron Goes to the White House Science Fair and Aron Runs for Class President.
Grant’s latest work takes on a touchy subject in a way that is fun and lighthearted but with a clear and direct message, and it draws on some of the real-world work he has done to bridge the gap between police and the community.
Bringing His Story to Life
Grant is utilizing the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo to fund the costs associated with publishing the book and bringing it to bookshelves and police departments all across the country. The money raised will help pay for the book’s illustrations rendered by a freelance artist, formatting, ISBN registration, proof printing, and curriculum production.
Grant hopes to initially publish 1,000 books to distribute to police departments that are associated with the Race for Peace organization, which is made up of members of law enforcement, clergy, government, and citizens from the greater Philadelphia area.
Donate Today
Grant’s crowdfunding campaign ends on August 12, and he could use your help to cross the finish line. To donate or to learn more about the book and Nahjee himself, visit the project page here. To show his appreciation to everyone who makes a donation, Nahjee is offering up some limited-edition rewards including early access to the book.
We encourage you to make a donation to help bring Nahjee’s idea to life and to inspire change in the Philadelphia community and beyond.
