Lumos, a charity founded by J.K. Rowling, is dedicated to reuniting children currently in orphanages with their families. There are over eight million children who are currently facing horrible living conditions in orphanages and institutions across the world. 80% of these children have families out there who were unable to take care of them due to poverty or other circumstances. Lumos hopes to locate the families of these children and provide them with the means to care for the child at home.

A $10 donation could help train parents of a disabled child, $50 could allow Lumos to locate the family of a child, and a $100 donation would help to develop local services designed to assist children leaving the orphanages and institutions to live independently. If you’re lucky enough to have $2,500 to spare, the first ten people to donate $2,500 or more will receive a UK edition of the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child script book signed by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne along with their 250 entries.

The promotion starts on August 1 and ends August 31 at 11:59 p.m. EST. The winner will be drawn during the week of September 3 and must be available during the dates of September 20–24.

You can find out more about the promotion or make a donation here.
