Golden Krust "Pennies for Change"

Fundraising: Pennies for Change" This is an innovative program that allows customers in any of GKs 100+ stores and other locations such as Consulate Offices of Caribbean countries, churches and supermarkets to donate coins that will assist in providing scholarships. The funds collected will be used to continue to advance education programs such as the Mavis Hawthorne Scholarship, Bronx Community College Scholarship program and assist in the development of a Franchise Program in the University of the West Indies (UWI) curriculum. Pennies for Change will also offer assistance to Oberlin High School and educational projects in Caribbean countries.

My Comment: With 120 locations, spread across 8 states, collecting pennies to assist in making changes in people’s lives, this solicitation effort will be really successful. The availability of collection apparatus in other places mentioned (Consulate Offices of Caribbean countries, churches and supermarkets) really serve to significantly increase the donations to this drive. Do you see the multiplication potential of this “innovative program”?
