Pennies for Prevention Drive @ AVMS!!!
April 19-23, 2010
Sponsored by the Raise Foundation
Did you know that Orange County receives over 40,000 reports of child abuse a year? That’s over 100 reports a day. Well, AVMS can do something about it! This week AVMS is participating in the Pennies for Prevention program benefiting The Raise Foundation. The Pennies for Prevention program is this week, April 19th through April 23rd. During this period we ask students to donate spare change and bring it into AVMS and support our goal of raising $3,000! The money will go to the Raise Foundation in an effort to support their mission to stop the cycle of child abuse through leadership, education, advocacy, community collaboration, comprehensive services and through their role as Orange County’s official designated Child Abuse Prevention Council.
The Pennies for Prevention program has many incentives for students. Not only will students be supporting children and families in the local community, the top collecting class will win a party of their choice. Class competition will run through period 1 and students are encouraged to participate in other school-related activities happening during the week.
Thank you for helping the prevention and intervention of child abuse in our community.
Bring in your spare change this week and help AVMS achieve their goal of raising $3,000!
