2nd Annual Count-a-thon!

You Are Cordially Invited to the
2nd ANNUAL PENNY HARVEST
COUNT-A-THON!
Thursday, December 11th, 2008
9am-11am
UMB Bank
1635 E. Colfax Avenue, Denver, CO 80218
ph 303-388-3641
Join us as we celebrate the 31 Penny Harvest schools who have gathered an estimated
2,000,000 idle pennies from their communities. Every cent they
have collected will be donated to a charitable cause!
Beginning in January, these Penny Harvest schools will go through a rigorous
group process to decide how to spend their funds, involving both grant-making
and service. The impact is staggering: student donations and service hours will
help hundreds of local and global charities and at the same time build skills and
values that will last a lifetime.


Please RSVP to Amber Gerding by Friday, December 5th:
agerding@ypfoundation.org or 720-221-9218
