Send Pennies to School for HOPEsudbury

The annual HOPEsudbury Pennies for HOPE drive is underway at Sudbury Public Schools throughout the month of October. Students can put coins in collection jars in their elementary school lobby.

Excitement about the collection is generated at Curtis by a competition to see which homeroom can collect the most pennies. In past years the winning homeroom was rewarded with a movie afternoon. Curtis homerooms will collect pennies the last two weeks in October.

Funds raised through the Pennies for HOPE Drive support The HOPE Fund which provides Sudbury residents with emergency funding for unexpected financial need, and the Beyond our Borders program.

Pennies for HOPE will be presented live on SudburyTV Nov. 1 during the HOPEsudbury Telethon & Auction Children’s Hour at 5 p.m. The Telethon will be held at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School from noon until 10PM.

The Telethon features performances by talented Sudbury residents of all ages and an online Auction of more than 275 items and services donated by local businesses and residents.

HOPEsudbury is an all-volunteer 501(c)3 organization that was founded in 2002 to provide opportunity for citizens to come together to help people in and beyond Sudbury facing difficult times. The signature program is The HOPE Fund, a community safety net for Sudbury residents facing unforeseen financial setbacks.
