Pennies for Patients

Did you know that it is estimated that $10.5 billion in loose change is sitting idle in American households? It is time to put all that idle change to work in a way that will make a big difference for people battling blood cancers like leukemia.

Starting November 2nd, Student Council will be sponsoring Pennies for Patients at our campus. We will be collecting change until November 20th. Students can help support leukemia research by placing spare change in the boxes in their classrooms. Every penny counts!
