Penny Project
Simon Fraser students have founded a project dedicated to impacting change in our world with the simplest of means- the penny. In two weeks, students have brought in $1500 in pennies alone. That amounts to more than 400 kilograms of copper. In total, Simon Fraser has raised more than $2500 in two weeks for the Red Cross of Canada.
Penny Project has a strong presence on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, and committee meetings have had attendance of more than 100 dedicated students. Well done, Simon Fraser! Grade 8 students, Brandon L. and Christopher T. won the contest to design our logo. Grade 9 student, Alex T. won the name competition. Please support us by getting your network of friends, co-workers, and family involved by bringing in their unused pennies or spare change! We will make a "change" in the world. Here is a link to the YouTube video that explains more about the impetus for this project:
