Silent Book Club Fundraiser Brings Community Together for ourBRIDGE for KIDS
In a beautiful blend of literature, community, and purpose, ourBRIDGE for KIDS recently partnered with That’s Novel Books to host a Silent Book Club fundraiser at our East Side campus. Under the trees and warm lights, more than 20 people gathered to read, reflect, and raise support for immigrant and refugee children in Charlotte.
Silent Book Clubs—sometimes called introvert happy hours—have surged in popularity for their simple premise: show up with a book, enjoy quiet time, and connect with fellow readers. But this gathering was extra special. ourBRIDGE curated a reading list spotlighting immigrant and refugee authors to deepen understanding of the experiences many of our BRIDGE Kids and their families face.
With cozy snacks, a garden setting, and stories that build empathy, the night captured what makes ourBRIDGE unique: a celebration of cultures, learning, and shared humanity.
