At the fall Region 9 meeting of advisors and officers, your officers voted to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Make-A-Wish is the largest nonprofit dedicated to fulfilling the wishes of critically ill children. The mission of this foundation is to exceed the expectations of every Wish Kid.
For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy.
How do Penny Wars work?
Any coin that you donate into your school’s fund will count as points towards your school. Any paper currency that you place in other school’s funds will count against them. For example: if I have a quarter and I put it in JD’s fund, it will count as 25 points for JD. However, if I place a dollar in ESM’s fund it will count as negative 100 points against ESM and so on.
What if my school wins Penny Wars?
Your schools name will be engraved into the plaque and you will be named Penny War winner for that year.
