When The HP Alliance gathered together its efforts for its “Helping Haiti Heal” campaign, the big ticket prize item was a full, signed set of Harry Potter books personally donated by J.K. Rowling. The books raised more than $39,000 as part of the overall HHH fundraiser (which brought in $123,000 in donations and was responsible for five airplanes full of supplies and necessary medical equipment being flown down to the area via Partners in Health). The winners were the Association of Electrical Contractors of New York City, who had already planned to donate $1,000 to Haitian relief but found that doing so through the HPA’s drive might reap a reward they could use to do even more good.

Well, it did! After an emotional prize draw the Association decided to re-list the books. This time funds raised will benefit the AEC’s Scholarship Foundation, which provides scholarships to students seeking a career in electrical engineering, as well as Kamp Kiwanis, an organization in upstate New York devoted to giving handicapped and underprivileged children an outdoors experience where they can learn about leadership and fair play.

The books donated by J.K. Rowling are indeed the gift that keeps on giving, and the HPA is partnering with the AEC to run this second drive and make sure that Harry Potter fans get a second chance at this fantastic prize! You can buy one ticket to the drive for $40, and 3 for $100; use the buttons above to donate! There is currently no end-date for this drive; that will be announced in due course. Thank you so much for your support!
