Penny Harvest Capital Region of NY

Congratulations!
As the Gather Pennies phase comes to a close, sacks are being tallied, pennies are being picked up and students are celebrating their success.  Remember to thank your entire school in a special way!

Scholarship Roundtables
Scholarship Philanthropy Roundtables are available to schools that harvest less than 25 sacks. Your students will still have the opportunity to make grants and take action with their hard-earned pennies. Please contact Kylie Gursky at (212) 579-0579 as soon as possible if your school did not beat the 25 Sack Challenge.

Penny Harvest Report
Remember to download and complete the Penny Harvest Evaluation Report: Gather Pennies. Reports are due January 23, 2009.

These reports provide us with the much needed feedback from the very person implementing our program- you!
