Mr. Bill’s Transitional Class at Lake Forest Park Montessori held a penny drive. With the pennies collected the children voted on where they would donate $5.00. Each child presented information to their classmates about which cause they wished to support and then they held a class vote where only one cause was selected.

5 year old Audrey Wilkinson chose “We Keep SCORE” Guild at Children’s as her pet cause and presented the idea to her classmates. Her cause won the majority vote.

Here, in her own words, is why Audrey chose We Keep SCORE:

“I like that We Keep SCORE helps children with cancer. This money can help the doctors to help the children get better. Children and doctors can use the cards, too, to learn about each other which makes things nicer for both of them during a hard time.”

A huge Thank You to Audrey and her classmates! Seattle Children's was founded in 1907 by Anna Clise and her women friends who held a penny drive to support the hospital. Today, a penny in 1907 is worth 23 cents! We truly believe that no donation is too small. If everyone in Seattle donated 23 cents like Audrey and her classmates, we would have $133,900 to help cure childhood cancer!
