Lee Allen, author of the popular book The Special Guest: A Christmas Story, and his wife Donna Campbell Allen (the illustrator for The Special Guest) are sponsoring Angel Tree this Christmas season. The Allens‘ goal is to raise $100,000 through a promotion called the “12 Days Before Christmas: $100K Challenge.”
Twenty years ago the Allens sponsored Angel Tree with their first self-published edition distributed locally in their hometown of Richmond, Virginia. From that local success they donated $6,500 to Angel Tree. Now with the release of the 20th Anniversary Edition, the Allens have set a challenge to donate $100,000 to Angel Tree.
”The Special Guest theme coincides with the mission of Angel Tree perfectly and when you read the book, you’ll understand,“ explains Lee. “This year, the book is in its 20th anniversary edition and by itself, The Special Guest makes a heartwarming story that will inspire you with the power of forgiveness. But now with this campaign, here is an opportunity to, once again, help a very worthy cause,“ says Lee.
The Allens are pledging all of the net proceeds from The Special Guest book sales, beginning Saturday, December 13th, through Monday, December 15th, to Angel Tree. After Monday, $1.00 per every book sold will be donated to Angel Tree through the remaining 12 days before Christmas.
The Special Guest is only sold on Amazon.com and when purchasing the “Gift Edition“ in print at $9.95, a downloadable copy of the book is included. A downloadable-only version of The Special Guest by itself is also available on Amazon at $6.95.
