Feight Club
Building Bridges & Communities One Book at a Time
Our mission is to put a book in the hands of any child that’s willing to read one.
Donate Books for Schools
We believe in today’s fast-paced world it is necessary to create a love of reading at a young age, on top of providing books to Feight Club members throughout the country. We also focus on helping children here at home. We know that it is tough for children to get their hands on books at school in poor and underprivileged communities. One of our goals is to work with underfunded and underserved schools in our community to ensure that children have access to books in the early grades. We hope to provide books and supplies to our communities in need starting with the greater Los Angeles area and then hopefully the world.
Help make things easier for Tommy by purchasing or donating books directly from his Amazon wish list. With almost two years of experience sending books to Feight Club members, Tommy knows precisely what books they have received, so to make sure you are getting books to kids that they have not read already, it might be easiest for you to donate books directly off of Tommy’s ever-changing and updated Wish List.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn taught me that poverty, grief and even just not fitting in at school are timeless problems; they existed in 1912 and they still exist today. Francie Nolan is the best protagonist: a still water that runs very, very deep. I related to her so much when I was thirteen and, to be perfectly honest, I still do!

About Us
The reason for Feight Club is simple, now that I have a son I am trying to become a better human. He has such a light in him and it is my job to make sure that light never dims. The best way I can accomplish that is just by being a better human. For most of my life, I was very angry and self-serving thinking that the universe kind of owed me something, whatever the universe owed me they paid me back in spades when they gave me a healthy son. So how do I pay it forward, how do I continue on a path to becoming better? What better way than putting a book in the hand of someone who will read it.
Kids these days have so many distractions and things available to keep or occupy their attention and unfortunately, books are probably way down on that list and they should not be. With video readily available in all formats I fear soon we will have a nation of idiots who can not read and can only speak in little pictures. That is why I decided a book club would be a good idea. Just imagine being the first person to put a computer in Steve Jobs’s hands? He would never have been able to build Apple without reading and books, so now take some of our brightest and innovative minds and imagine you were the one who helped put the knowledge in their head. When you do that you could help someone who may grow up to change the world! When you think of it on that level such a little egg corn could grow into an extremely powerful oak that could one day yield a Forrest. This is why I feel this is something we all have to do. Feight Club is fully registered and approved as a 501c3 Nonprofit.
