Carmine's Convoy

On March 13–14, the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity at Rose-Hulman hosted its second annual Carmine’s Convoy. Never did we imagine that a labor of love would grow into a single event raising more than $100,000. That moment belongs to every person who believed in the mission and supported us along the way.

Thank you to everyone who has followed our story, shown up, and lifted us up. Your generosity is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when #community leads the way.

It truly takes a village! Thank you to all of our #Sponsors for the donations and trust in our organization. We look forward to what this means we can achieve in the years to come!!

Learn More About Us

Rooks Books is a collection of our children's favorite books, including those written and published by me, Shecara Squires Reives. It all started with a 2020 Book Drive, during the height of COVID-19. We collected and delivered over 1,500 books to Riley Hospital in Indianapolis to support growing families. During this drive, we noticed the lack of children's books that shared the joys of unique stories like our son Carmine's. In 2021, I decided to tell that story, in memory of his twin brother Rook William. And with that, Rooks Books Publishing, LLC was born. With each book sold, a portion of the profits will go towards annual donations to NICU departments at hospitals.
