(Sincere) applause

In celebration of this weekend's D23 Expo, the Disney fan event, Disney is planning to donate $500,000 and eight million books—ranging from titles for beginning readers to teen series—to First Book, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing new books to children in need. Last year, First Book distributed a total of 7.5 million books, and Disney's generous donation will allow them to double that number this year.
