A sports arena here was raising money...and a lady came up with the brilliant idea of collecting ONE MILLION PENNIES! That works out to $10,000, so you may not need THAT many.

But heck, ask your hairdresser and a couple of other businesses you frequent about putting a "penny can" by their tills. PENNIES ONLY. People will like that! Take a coffee can, put nice wrapping paper around it, cut a slot in the plastic top, and away you go.

Maybe "a quarter million pennies"? Oh - and get your bank to donate some penny rollers...why spend two rolls' worth on a bag of them at the dollar store?
