R-MA Interact Club donates $500 raised in ‘Penny Wars’
FRONT ROYAL – The Randolph-Macon Academy middle school Interact Club, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Warren County, recently presented a $500 check to “Lad in a Battle”, as part of its annual “Penny Wars” fundraiser. The club has raised about $11.000 for charity in the past eight years, according to R-MA faculty member Danielle “Dani” Clingerman.
The middle school students voted to donate the funds this year toward helping the family of a local child who recently succumbed to cancer.
Earlier recipients of “Penny Wars” funding include Feed My Neighbor (formerly Stop Hunger Now); Able Forces, a local organization assisting wounded veterans find meaningful employment; the Salvation Army; and natural disaster victims.
Club members have donated over 8,000 hours of community service to those in need over the last eight years.
