Penny-A-Day Program
Small change. BIG impact.
Our Penny-A-Day program began decades ago when members were encouraged to contribute their spare pennies at club meetings. A bucket or jar would be passed around, and members would toss in their loose change with the goal of contributing at least $3.65 per year. Guests and speakers often joined in, and before long, a lot of change started to accumulate!
Nowadays, with fewer people carrying spare change, it's exciting to see the container fill up with paper money instead—often inspiring others to give even more! Many clubs also implement fun fines for visiting members from neighboring clubs as a way to contribute to the Penny-A-Day Program.
At the end of each term in June, individual clubs total their funds and bring their check to our National Convention, where the amounts are announced. It’s always a friendly competition to see which club raised the most! The National Treasurer then reveals the total amount raised to a big drumroll.
Over the years, this program has funded incredible initiatives. We've supported a mobile bus that teaches children in low-income areas how to read, provided therapeutic horseback riding lessons for individuals with disabilities, and helped furnish a home where single mothers and their children can live rent-free while the mothers pursue their education.
If you'd like to make a difference through our Penny-A-Day Program, we invite you to contribute today! Every dollar collected goes directly toward funding impactful local projects that change the lives of underserved children. Simply use the form below and note "Penny-A-Day" in the comment box.
