Scott asked Jeff Hobbs:

Hey Jeff we are reading your book in class right now and we have been wondering if you have donated any money to st. Benedicts or to Jackie peace from the earnings of the book? Thank you Scott

Jeff Hobbs Hello -- thanks for reaching out and I'm sorry for the years-long delay in responding to this--I really don't spend time on social websites but am trying to be better as my next book, Show Them You're Good, comes out in August, about young men finishing high school in different neighborhoods and aspiring for college. Per Jackie Peace's wishes, there is a scholarship at St. Benedict's for book proceeds, and Jackie herself receives earnings from the film development of the book. It took convincing from a lot of loving people around her to agree to accept anything, but it's meaningful. Thanks again, sincerely, Jeff
