After surpassing its centennial goal of impacting more than one million lives, Shumaker’s commitment to bolstering literacy in its communities remains steadfast. The firm recently sponsored the construction of three little library book-sharing boxes for Sarasota-area nonprofits through Brand New Chapters, cementing literacy as a lasting firmwide philanthropic focus. Brand New Chapters is a literacy-based nonprofit dedicated to spreading the power of reading to underserved Sarasota communities by donating books that would otherwise be destined for landfills. With Shumaker’s $900 donation, Brand New Chapters will establish three new little libraries throughout the community—one of which will be constructed between Star Lab Elementary School and Janie’s Garden in Sarasota’s historic Newtown neighborhood.
