Young Philanthropists Raise $3,000 in Pennies
Phoenix and the Penny Brigade surpass their goal
Our fantastic kids have met their goal! This year the Phoenix Penny Drive broke its own record with a whopping $3,000 raised for scholarships by our fabulous Phoenix and her amazing helpers Kaia, Teo and Ely. Started in 2012 by Phoenix Cheshier, who at the time was only six years old, the penny drive has yielded more than $10,000 to date. We are deeply grateful for the contributions of so many supporters–thank you to all!
Special appreciation goes to Phoenix and her Penny Brigade for a job well done. And many thanks to Chance Karlsson Kelley for hauling pennies two years in a row! We would also like to acknowledge and thank the following local business for partnering with Phoenix and her Penny Drive:
