PENNY WARS!
- Pennies for Patients is a national community service project where students bring their spare change to school and donate it in honor of local student survivors.
- Last year, 28,000 schools participated and raised over $28 million.
- Estimates indicate that there is $10.5 billion in loose change sitting idle in American households.
- Leukemia causes more deaths in children and young adults than any other cancer. Pennies for Patients is working to "change" that statistic.
- Since its founding, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has invested more than $814 million in blood cancer research.
- Last year, one state alone raised $1.3 in co-pay assistance and financial aid to 1,351 local patients. Imagine the money raised in all 50 states!
