In Charles Town, students from local Key Clubs have raised $450.71 through the Cheer Booth to support the Imagination Library, which provides books to children. Key Club president Julie Fincham introduced the initiative to her peers, highlighting the importance of community engagement. The funds will assist in ensuring that local kids receive monthly books until age five, especially as the need for resources increases. The Imagination Library, created by Dolly Parton, has become crucial for children's literacy, especially as more families enroll in the program. Fincham and other volunteers also raised awareness about the program while managing the Cheer Booth, which has revived a beloved holiday tradition. The Key Club continues its community efforts with upcoming events like the annual Snow Ball to further support local organizations.
