Convoy of Hope Fundraiser for January!

Convoy of Hope Fundraiser

Cherokee Middle School is going to be putting on a Penny Drive and donating all the money collected to Convoy of Hope. The money raised will help aid Convoy of Hope in its objective of meeting the needs of survivors OF Hurricane Sandy in New York and New Jersey. If any money is not used it will be put toward the funds of the next major disaster by going to the General Fund of Convoy of Hope. We will accept other things than just pennies including dollar bills.

Dates:  January 2-31

Donations Drop-off: Lunch time

Thank you for helping Convoy of Hope raise money for the survivors of Hurricane Sandy.
