We just received this update on the New Moon Countdown for iPhone promotion from Jonathan Hohle, the creator of the New Moon Countdown application:
Thanks to Twilight fans’ generosity, the New Moon Countdown for iPhone promotion was an overwhelming success. For every 100 applications purchased on the iTunes App store through July 30th, one new book was purchased for a Seattle area women and children’s shelter. Thanks to your abundant support ten Twilight Saga Book Sets (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn) — 40 books in total — have been purchased for five different Seattle shelters.
The organizations were excited to receive the new books and many commented that they were perfect because they were books the kids and adults would actually want to read! Now the Twilight love is being spread to people who might not otherwise have had the opportunity to read these great novels.
The following shelter’s benefited from the New Moon Countdown promotion:
*New Beginnings Shelter received 3 sets of the Twilight Saga Collection. They provide a home for women experiencing domestic violence abuse. They also have a 24 hour crisis line, transitional housing, free weekly support groups, and legal advocacy. http://www.newbegin.org
*Roots Young Adult Shelter was excited they now had 2 complete sets of the Twilight Saga. This shelter, located in Seattle, Washington, is the only shelter in the city that provides a safe place specifically for young persons between the age of 18 and 25. Snacks, dinner, and a hot breakfast is also given out in addition to visits by healthcare providers. http://www.rootsinfo.org/
*Seattle Indian Center provides day programs for Seattle area teenagers. It offers a job placement program for adults among many other services in Seattle’s diverse International District. Seattle Indian Center received two sets of the Twilight Saga for their library.
*Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission has been assisting the homeless for over 77 years in the downtown Seattle area. One set of the Twilight Saga Collection books went to the Women and Childcare’s shelter. While here, the women receive transitional housing, spiritual development, education and career training, and, if necessary, drug and alcohol recovery. http://www.ugm.org/
*Broadview Emergency Shelter provides confidential, transitional and emergency housing for women and children in the Seattle metro area. While at the site women have access to counseling, crisis intervention programs, addiction recovery services and goal setting meetings. Broadview received two sets of the Twilight Saga Collection. http://www.solid-ground.org/PROGRAMS/HOUSING/BROADVIEW/Pages/default.aspx
