Pennies for Patients 2009 - One Little Penny, One Big Difference


 

Image 1 of 12


 
Students at C.E. Jacobson Elementary in Rush City, MN unleashed the power of the penny in last year's campaign!

During the 2007-2008 school year, more than 12 million students from 23,000 schools nationwide worked together to bring hope to lives touched by blood cancer by participating in Pennies for Patients.  And what a difference they made—students raised $19 million to help fund lifesaving cancer research! 

Since its inception, School & Youth Programs have raised more than $120 million dollars nationally for research and patient services.  Locally, we celebrate our 18th year of Pennies for Patients with $4.5 million raised for local research and patients services.  This community service project has also helped thousands of students experience the power of the penny--the feeling that comes from working together to improve the lives of others.

In 2009, our goal is to partner with more than 800 schools in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota and raise $700,000!  Click here to join our team and commit to participate anytime of your choosing in January and February 2009.  If you are interested in getting your school involved, please contact Angie Lundeen at (763) 852-3013 or (888) 220-4440.
