Where will you display the pennies?
We will be displaying just over 6 million pennies at both the Democratic and the Republican National Conventions in late summer 2008. Since Change for a Penny was founded in 2005 over 6 million men, women, and children have died of HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. We will also be displaying 19 million pennies on World AIDS Day 2008 in the Bay Area. We are always open to new places and ways to display the pennies so if you have ideas please e-mail info@gotcents.org
