Penny Drive Fundraiser Aims for $10,000
Posted by Sandra Sims on 06 Dec 2006 in: General
Many schools hold a penny drive fundraiser to benefit various causes. One school decided to aim for one million pennies…
“Million Dollar Baby,” a project instituted this year by language arts teachers Amy Rafano and Mark Amatucci, will show students what 1 million looks like while fostering a sense of community and making a difference. Half of the $10,000 collected will be donated to the North Brunswick Food Bank and the other half will be kept in-house at Linwood to supply materials.

Penny drive fundraisers are good for elementary and junior high schools. All students are able to participate since it only requires that students bring pocket change, at least a few pennies. The school just needs to send home a flyer with each student letting parents know the details about the penny drive.
The major work involved with a penny drive fundraiser is counting the pennies! If the school is counting contributions by class or homeroom, then someone from that class (the teacher or students) must count the pennies before turning in to the school office. Then the office will likely need to re-count before turning in to the bank.
