The 31st annual Kids First Coupon Book sale is underway now. Hamilton County elementary schools are selling the nearly 200-page booklets that cost only $10 and feature hundreds of dollars in savings from area stores, restaurants, attractions and service providers.
During the past 30 years, the Kids First Coupon Book has raised over 15 million dollars for the Hamilton County Schools. Unlike other school fundraisers, Kids First is produced by a non-profit organization, the Hamilton County Schools Fund for Excellence. All of the proceeds stay in Hamilton County for the benefit of local schools. The schools keep $7 for every book sold pay for things like technology upgrades, art supplies, playground equipment, and library books. The remaining 30 percent of coupon book revenue covers program expenses and funds other projects that benefit the schools
