Penny Fundraiser Spring is finally here! And we all know what that means - Spring Cleaning! Do those jars of pennies keep piling up in your closet, garage or basement? Do you have pennies scattered on the floor of your car, or hidden under the cushions of your couch? Don't know what to do with all of those pennies?! Help the kids at Sara Holbrook Community Center (SHCC) and the King Street Youth Center (KSYC) raise a million pennies! A group of kids from each site are working collaboratively to raise a million pennies or $10,000 ($5,000 for each site).The money raised will go directly to the children’s programs at both Centers! On Saturday, April 5 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., during the Sara Holbrook Community Center’s 3rd annual Festival of Cultures, there will a drop-off site run by the kids to donate those pesky pennies! The kids will have input as to where the money raised will go to…unfortunately, it probably won’t go toward a swimming pool in the back of the Sara Holbrook Community Center! Visit the SHCC blog in the next couple days to see a video about what the kids want to do with the money! Cookbooks are Here! It has been years and years in the making, but the Sara Holbrook Community Center cookbook has finally been printed!
