Carpenters Tour Books
The Carpenters toured the globe
for the better part of the 1970's. Tour books were available for sale
to concert-goers. These programs were filled with all sorts of
interesting photos, mini biographies and interviews with Karen and
Richard. The proceeds from such books were donated to The American
Cancer Society.
Carpenters Fan Club Newsletter #13 - May, 1972:
Q: Is Karen National Youth Chairman of Cancer Society & what does she do for them?
A: Yes. It is an honorary title bestowed on her because she and Richard are both concerned with this horrible illness and have donated all proceeds from sales of their program book to the Cancer Society.
