Proudly Pennies is a student-led initiative that seeks to collect 1 billion pennies, the equivalent to $10 million. It will be a significant contribution to the Proudly Cincinnati campaign. Click here for the Proudly Pennies Mission Statement.

Proudly Pennies is spearheaded by the University of Cincinnati’s (UC) Student Government and supported by UC students. It is their way of taking ownership of the Proudly Cincinnati campaign. University of Cincinnati students will partner with the University President, Gregory H. Williams, to determine the best use for the funds generated by Proudly Pennies.

Throughout the campaign, all students will be invited to donate pennies online or via each college's Web site. Online gifts to Proudly Pennies require a minimum donation of $10 or 1,000 pennies. Contributors can also physically drop off their pennies in the Dean’s offices of their respective colleges.

In addition to mobilizing the student body, the UC Student Government aims to inspire all potential contributors to donate their spare pennies to the Proudly Pennies effort. Alumni, faculty, staff, local businesses and the Greater Cincinnati community are encouraged to donate to the campaign.

Here is a video from Zach Collaros and Jason Kelcy. It is well worth the 20 seconds or so.

Sounds great, but I would prefer knowing where the money is going to prior to giving. Nothing wrong with dropping off pennies though.
