Sorry we have not updated over the last 10 days...due to some family issues over the last week, we took a short hiatus from the #MillionPennyDrive, but we are happy to announce that we are back.
In an effort to help people that are not in the Milwaukee area to donate, we have set up an account on First Giving, a website dedicated to donation drives for non-profits.
the website for the #MillionPennyDrive is http://www.firstgiving.com/amillion4kids
The donation process is 100% secure and the fund go directly to Make A Wish Wisconsin.
If you are in the Milwaukee area and would like one of our official donation boxes, please email us at amillion4kids@gmail.com and we will get one to you.
At last count we were closing in on 30,000 pennies collected on our way to 1 million.
Thanks for your help and support...please share the info on your Facebook and Twitter pages!
