Show ' Pennies By the Inch ' changes date of drive 4 For the past 15 years, the annual "Pennies by the Inch" campaign has been held early in the calendar year. Many community volunteers, who provided leadership in the campaign, indicated their preference pref-erence for another time of year because of inclement weather in parts of the Primary Children's Medical Center's service area and proximity to the very busy Christmas season. In response to this feedback, the "Pennies by the Inch" campaign dates will be changed to late September, beginning September 1991. It is felt that changing these dates is in the best interest of the volunteers vol-unteers which will positively impact im-pact the children who are recipients of this campaign. This is a time in the hospital's history when the demand for charity funds is increasing, and it is believed believ-ed this change will enhance the ability abil-ity to provide the necessary funds to care for all children in need. |
