Power of the Penny
Getting Started
Register your Pennies 4 Pandas Campaign
You can register as an individual or as a group online with our simple and easy registration form.
Reach Out and Have Fun
Grab a friend, talk to your class or even the whole school, rally your team, or any other group. Make it a fun and memorable experience by sharing it with other panda lovers. Celebrate the end of your campaign with a panda party!
Partner with the Community
Inform your neighbors, family, and friends about the urgent needs of the giant panda and how small change can make a big difference. Also, approach local businesses that might let you use counter space for your coin collector or they might simply want to make a donation.
Spread the Word
Notify the press. Share your mission with the local radio, newspaper, or television station. Explain how you are working to save one of the most magnificent animals on the planet and one of the most endangered.
Exchange your Pennies
When you have completed your Pennies 4 Pandas campaign, take a field trip to a local bank and watch the coin machine measure your success. Maybe your local TV station would love to cover this event! Then have the bank generate a cashier’s check or money order and send it to: Pennies 4 Pandas, PO Box 620335, Littleton, CO 80162
Learn New Knowledge
Use this experience as a learning tool. It’s not just about the money you can raise and the incentive gift(s) you can earn, but about the knowledge you can gain. Learn about the giant panda, Wolong and Bifengxia, and even some Chinese.
Share your Success
We encourage you to send your story and photographs with your contribution so that we can post your accomplishment on our website and share your success with other panda lovers. By sending in your photographs, you are authorizing Pandas International to use them.
Receive our Thanks
Once we have received your donation for Pennies 4 Pandas, we will send you a Certification of Appreciation and the corresponding incentive gift(s).
