Pennies for Pups

Here in Canada the government is fading out the penny.  Stores will no longer take these little coins so what in the world can you do with them?  Well, we are starting a new fundraising campaign and collecting as many pennies as we can.  We would like to fill a large water jug with pennies and then have a rolling party.  We have some donated penny wrappers and now we just need some donated pennies.

What will we do with the pennies?

The pennies we collect will be counted and rolled and then taken to the bank to deposit into Jedi and Griffin's trust fund.  Yes, the pups have a bank account!  We are keeping all money seperate for the pups and using their account to purchase things we need for them.  For example, we already need new Kongs for the pups.  These labs have power jaws and a Kong filled with treats really satisfy their chewing needs.  We are also saving up for the spay and neuter that will need to be done when the pups get a bit older.  We just purchased a new grooming table which is such a wonderful tool to have.  This table was purchased out of our own money because our fundraised money is running a little low right now.  

Please don't throw out those beautiful pennies... we would be thrilled to take them off your hands.  There is no need to roll them since we are going to have a rolling party with local friends and family once we fill our large water jug.

Sienna has been nominated as the official penny dropper.  She LOVES the sound a penny makes when it drops into a bottle.  Right now the bottle is empty.  Do you have any pennies kicking around that you'd like to donate to Pennies for Pups?
