COINS FOR CANCERS

Students at Beverly-Center will be collecting pennies or loose change during September to support cancer care during their annual “Coins for Cancers” drive. This year, the class collecting the most money gets to celebrate their win by giving their teacher a pie in the face.

During September, students are encouraged to bring their pennies and change to drop into their classroom collection bucket. The coins will be collected daily until Sept. 27. The money will be counted that day, with the winning teacher being announced.

If you know a student attending Beverly-Center, just pass your spare change along to them so it can be taken to school and counted. All coins and dollar bills will be accepted. Donate to help support a patient’s cancer care and cancer research.
