Copper Counts was inspired by the children who collected one hundred million pennies (1 million dollars) during The Penny Harvest at Rockefeller Center in New York City Christmas 2007 for the cause of school improvements.
Copper Counts is non-profit branch of The Bridge Church in Corona and has several goals:
- Copper Counts is committed to providing funds necessary to purchase land and construct a campus for The Bridge Church in Corona. Copper Counts is committed to create a legacy of fund raising for the local community's needs such as: new school equipment, hospital equipment, food and clothing for the needy, sponsoring world-wide hunger relief and financial support for other non-profit organizations within the Inland Empire as well as disaster relief for families in local communities.
- Copper Counts is a simple strategy of encouraging people to donate one (1) penny a day every day. The concept is simple but powerful. One penny is virtually useless by itself yet-when combined with the strength of thousands or millions of other pennies, their impact can be profound.
- Copper Counts teaches our children and the people of our community that pennies count because people count.
- Think about it. Thirty cents a month - just $3.65 a year and here's the real catch…Copper Counts accepts nothing but pennies.
- That's right. No checks, no cash just pennies!
- Copper Counts does not even accept loose change (quarters, dimes or nickels).
- Why? Because Copper Counts is committed to helping people develop a penny perspective. Penny Perspective is the ability to see the potential of the ordinary to accomplish the extra-ordinary! Penny Perspective teaches that people and pennies are both ordinary, but have the incredible potential to do extraordinary things.
So, the next time you see a penny stop and pick it up -
then drop it in the cup because …
Copper Counts!
