Free Book Fair to be hosted in Dallas on Saturday by 12-year-old boy

Dallas, Texas - In a display of youthful ambition and steadfast determination, Orion Jean, a 12-year-old, is fearlessly embarking on his mission to effect significant changes that could ripple across the globe.

Jean, whose name has become a symbol of proactive benevolence, has orchestrated colossal food drives and gathered an astonishing half a million books for students in the region of North Texas. His laudable endeavors recently culminated in the prestigious recognition of being named Time Magazine's Kid of the Year.

Jean's signature campaign, 'Race to Kindness', is gearing up for its next installment on Saturday, May 20, at the T.R. Hoover Community Development Center, situated on the bustling Bexar Street in Dallas. The three-hour event is slated to commence at 10am, creating a bustling hub of charitable activity that will continue until 1pm.

Notably, this event promises to provide more than just a typical gathering – it is expected to become a heartening spectacle of education and generosity, with books suitable for readers of all ages, as well as invaluable resources for educators, being freely distributed.

In addition to the distribution of educational material, attendees are in for a delightful treat. Each visitor can anticipate leaving the venue with their hands full of enticing swag bags, and, most importantly, with a generous assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables – a symbol of Orion's commitment to nurture both mind and body.

This monumental event is made possible through a strategic partnership that encapsulates the essence of community cooperation. Thriftbooks, a haven for book enthusiasts, has teamed up with the Dallas Mavericks and the State Fair of Texas, a cultural phenomenon in its own right, to support Jean's altruistic pursuit.

Together, they epitomize a powerful triumvirate backing Orion's vision, further solidifying his status as a catalyst for change and an emblem of kindness in our society.
