Chicken Soup Publishers To Donate Profits to TBAF

The editors of the popular short story collection "Chicken Soup" have opted to donate profits from their new book Chicken Soup for the Soul: Children with Special Needs, to the Bubel Aiken Foundation. In the forward (which you can read in its entirety by clicking the scan above), the editors write:

With teach Chicken Soup for the Soul book we publish, we designate a charity to receive a portion of the profits. A portion of the proceeds from Chicken Soup for the Soul Children with Special Needs will be donate to the Bubel/Aiken Foundation.

The Bubel/Aiken Foundation grew out of the relationship between Clay Aiken and Diane Bubel and Diane's then thirteen-year-old son Mike, who had been diagnosed with autism. Clay met the Bubel family while pursuing a career in special education.

What a great opportunity to get a fantastic book, while at the same time helping out the Bubel/Aiken Foundation. One of the stories featured in the book was written by Kristy Barnes of the TBAF. Her story, titled "The Dance", describes inclusion at work at TBAF summer camps.

The book was just recently released; you can get your hands on a copy at your local bookstore, or through the internet at merchants such as Amazon.com.
