Celebrating Our January Precision Cares Winner: Mighty Miss Maya Library Fundraiser!
What an amazing morning celebrating Mighty Miss Maya and her mission of inclusion and empowerment! Maya kicked off the day by reading to three classrooms at 9:30 AM, spreading joy and inspiration to local students. Then, at 10:30 AM, we had a fantastic public storytime at the Kingsley Branch Library, where families gathered to enjoy Maya’s powerful stories and message.
Mighty Miss Maya’s story and the work of Bee Mighty Press remind us all of the importance of representation in children's books. Their mission? To bring diverse, inclusive stories featuring main characters with disabilities to schools and libraries across the country—helping kids see themselves and others in a meaningful way. ❤️
We are so proud to support this incredible initiative through Precision Cares! Huge thanks to everyone who joined us today and to Maya and her family for sharing their passion and purpose with our community.
