Pennies for Patients

From February 23 through March 13, the Cedar Grove-Belgium elementary school will be collecting money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Pennies for Patients. The donated money will go to support a very special cause. All your pennies, and yes, even nickels, dimes, quarters, dollar bills, and checks, help in finding the cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma.
Their goal this year is to raise $3,500. Last year $5,000 was raised, earning the school Lifesaver Club status for the 4th year in a row. They also deserve special recognition because last year they raised the most money in all elementary schools statewide!
Donations can be dropped off at the elementary school office or given directly to Mrs. Ketterhagen. You also have the option of donating online. For online donations, follow these steps:
1. Access our school’s online donation page atwww.active.com/donate/sywi
2. Leave the first name and last name fields blank and click search.
3. Select Belgium Elementary Cedar Grove from the list. Please note our
name is listed with Belgium first.
4. Then follow the simple steps listed there to complete the donation.
Be sure to enter the classroom you’d like the donation to be credited to. This can be done by entering the teacher’s name or student’s name.
Teachers, staff and students, please bring in those pennies! All your help is great appreciated and does make a difference in this process. We need a cure for these diseases; wouldn’t you like to be a part of finding that cure?
