BINC Foundation Inaugural Ambassadors

James Patterson and Ann Patchett were named inaugural ambassadors of the Book Industry Charitable (BINC) Foundation because of their support for the foundation’s mission to provide booksellers with personal financial assistance. BINC grew out of a wish of bookstore employees to establish a fund to help their colleagues experiencing unexpected financial crises. The foundation is dedicated to assisting bookstore and comic store employees across the United States in their greatest time of need. For more information, visit: http://www.bincfoundation.org.
