Drawn Together: Cartoonists Benefit Moore, OK School Libraries

On May 20, the city of Moore, OK was directly hit by an EF5 tornado. Within seconds, thousands of families’ lives were changed forever.

The situation was intensified when news outlets reported the destruction of two elementary schools and the partial collapse of a third elementary school. As news of the tragedy traveled around the world, all eyes and prayers were centered on Moore as heart-breaking images were released and many wanted to know how to best help in the recovery effort.

On September 27th & September 28th, 4 well-known author/cartoonists (Jeff Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid; Stephan Pastis, Timmy Failure & Pearls before Swine; Lincoln Peirce, Big Nate & Dav Pilkey, Captain Underpants) are coming together in Oklahoma in order to help the children, teachers, families & community regain a sense of normalcy. The proceeds generated from the event will go toward the Moore Public School Foundation for their school library collections.

However, we realize that many throughout America may not be able to attend the events but still may wish to do his/her part to help. By making a purchase, not only will you receive a uniquely designed T-shirt featuring artwork by award-winning author/cartoonists, you will also be helping those in need by creating a larger network of community support.
