On Thursday, 21 August, our incredible community came together for Giving Day, raising vital funds to support Dymocks Children's Charities' literacy programs and foster a lifelong love of reading for children across Australia.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we raised over $50,000, helping us continue to provide brand-new books to children who need them most.

A special thank you to our Foundation Partner, Dymocks Books & Gifts, who matched donations up to $10,000, doubling the impact and ensuring every contribution went further for disadvantaged children.

Adding to the excitement, over 30 incredible authors visited Dymocks stores across Australia, signing books, chatting with customers, and spreading the joy of reading.

We are sincerely thankful to each of them for giving their time and energy to this important cause:

Ali Lowe, Alli Sinclair, Belinda Murrell, Benjamin Stevenson, Cassie Hamer, Darcy Tindale, David Hicks, Eva Amores, Fiona Lowe, Gabriel Bergmoser, George Invanoff, Grantlee Kieza, Jacqueline Harvey, Jeremy Lachlan, Jessica Seaborn, Joel Mckerrow, Juliet Marillier, Kate Foster, Kate Horan, Kaye Baillie, Kristin Darrell, Lili Wilkinson, Madeline Te Whiu, Matt Cosgrove, Meredith Costain, Nat Amoore, Nathan Luff, Ramona 'Mo' Davey, Sarah Foster, Stefanie Koens, Stephen B Platt, Stuart Wilson, Sue Lawson, Tristan Bancks, Will Kostakis, Zena Shapter.

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the volunteers who generously gave their time to help make Giving Day such a success.
