Annual UHS Delaware Valley Hospital Pennies from Heaven fundraiser a success!

The annual UHS Delaware Valley Hospital fundraiser, Pennies from Heaven was held at the Townsend Elementary School, in Walton during the month of February.

For over 25 years, students have been bringing in pennies they saved all year for the fundraiser. The change is brought in envelopes, baggies and boxes and even large plastic milk jugs and containers! This community project is always a lot of fun and a friendly competition between classrooms as they compete for the lunch party that goes to the classroom that collects the most pounds of pennies.

This year, Mrs. Howard’s fourth grade class won; bringing in 63 pounds of pennies!

All together, the students raised $1,001.16 which will be used to help fund programs at the hospital.
