BAM! Or Books-A-Million, Inc. recently held a book and toy drive for Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Fond du Lac County at their location at 835 W Johnson Street (inside the Forest Mall).

Patrons of the store purchased a book or toy, that in turn was donated to BBBS of Fond du Lac County.  Anything from picture books to chapter novels to toys were included in the donation.  “We are so grateful that BAM put together a book and toy drive for our organization.  We were able to help multiple families this holiday season!”  Said Tammy Young, Executive Director of BBBS of Fond du Lac County.  “We are blown away by people’s generosity!”
