This fundraiser will create a healthy competition amongst classes, homerooms, or Sunday school classes while letting the students work together for a common coal. A penny fundraiser is simple. Each class will have a jar to collect pennies in. One penny equals one vote towards the class. To make it interesting and raise more money, let any other coin denomination equal a vote against the class. For instance, a nickel would equal five votes against the class. Keep each classes jar in a public location to allow anyone to cast a vote for or against a class. Empty each jar at the end of the day and keep a running total. Let this fundraiser run for at least a week to give everyone a chance to bring in their pennies. A great time to run this fundraiser would be during school spirit week. The final result can be revealed during a pep rally at the end of the week. This is a fun and easy fundraiser.
