Populus Financial Group's Book Donation

In a heartwarming initiative that underscores its commitment to community engagement, Populus Financial Group, Inc. recently donated 850 new books to Davis Elementary School. This donation was part of their Populus Book Day, an effort to promote literacy and a love for reading among students in the area.

The handover event took place during the annual Scholastic Book Fair, where employees from Populus were on hand to assist students in selecting books that captured their interest. The enthusiasm of the children was palpable as they eagerly browsed through the selection, which included a range of genres to cater to diverse tastes.

Sandy Brown, the librarian at Davis Elementary, expressed immense gratitude for the donation. "We are incredibly thankful to Populus Financial Group for their continued generosity in supporting our students at Davis Elementary. Their donation has made a lasting impact on our campus," she said. "This gift not only puts high-quality books into the hands of our students but also inspires a love of reading that will stay with them for years to come."

The Scholastic Book Fair has been a cherished tradition for over 40 years, igniting curiosity and a passion for reading in millions of children across the United States. In the last year alone, Scholastic held more than 100,000 Book Fairs and helped distribute over 49 million books to students, raising significant funds for school libraries and classrooms across the nation.

A noteworthy addition to this year's donation was the emphasis on expanding the selection to include more Spanish language books. This initiative aims to ensure that bilingual students at Davis Elementary can access stories that resonate with their cultural backgrounds. Sally Aiello, the Vice President of Government Relations at Populus, commented, "Understanding the vibrant diversity of our community, we made a special effort this year to expand our book selection to include more Spanish language titles."

The efforts of Populus Financial Group are made possible through its ACE Community Fund, which focuses on children, education, and financial literacy. The Populus Book Day initiative, aimed at providing books for students in the Irving Independent School District, is a testament to the company’s dedication to fostering educational growth.

Populus Financial Group operates under several brands, including ACE Cash Express and ACE Elite Visa Prepaid Debit Card, offering a wide range of financial services to meet the needs of their clients. Their commitment to corporate social responsibility is reflected not only in this generous donation but also in their ongoing support for educational initiatives pairing financial literacy with academic growth.

By donating these books, Populus Financial Group hopes to ignite a passion for lifelong learning among young readers at Davis Elementary, ensuring they have the resources and encouragement to thrive both academically and personally. The excitement at the book fair was evident, marking another successful chapter in the partnership between the financial group and the school. As the students leave with their new books, Populus's contribution is set to cultivate a community of enthusiastic, confident readers for years to come.
