Download Clear-up
Hey :)
So I’ve been hearing that some of you who donated a book at the concert did not get your download of “5 Brothers and a Million Sisters” yet. One reason for some is that I was a bit late getting them out- and now you have already received it. ANother reason is that some names may have slipped through the cracks or were spelled wrong, etc.

New Books verses used books...
Couple of questions came up about why we are only collecting new books. There are a lot of “gentley used” and “like new books” out there that could certainly be a deserving part of a home book shelf. However, for a book drive like this, we wanted to keep it simple. The turn around for the books being collected and picked up is less than 24 hours. We want to be sure right...

If you were at the ILAA meet and greet and weren’t able to drop-off your book, please e-mail letsgetthisfoundation@gmail.com with “Detroit Meet and Greet” in the subject line.
Unfortunately, the meet and greet was delayed because of weather and eventually caused some folks to not get to the drop-off locations at the venue. We are in the process of getting the location of...

Detroit Rock City but Chi-town wears the crown!
Detroit you came hard. You stepped up. You did like you do. Ka-plow!! The show was revved up like a Ford 150, but of course it had its heavy hearted moments with the passing of MJ. It was an honor to celebrate him in our own way. I have to admit, I was a little weighed down for a bit, but then I was snapped out of it by the awesome crowd. The show must go on. I’m sure Mike would agree. And...

Redemption Code from FirstBook
We got a few e-mails saying that folks that made a donation on Firstbook.org/letsgetthis but didn’t get their redemption code, etc. I’ve made a few donations myself and it works perfectly. So all I can think of is that you might be looking for the code in the e-mail from Firstbook that came after the donation. The redemption code is NOT in the e-mail. The redemption code is in bold red...
