INVEST YOUR CHANGE
We invite everyone in the community to participate - grammar schools, middle schools, high schools, colleges and universities, teachers, families, parishes, retailers, organizations and individuals.
It's easy. It's quick. And it makes each donor a participant in finding a cure for breast cancer. People may think a nickel isn't worth a lot...but every nickel, dime, quarter and "yes" every penny counts in the fight against breast cancer!!
The project will teach everyone in the community the importance of a health issue that affects thousands of a women and their families, and the importance of social responsibility to their community. It really does "take a village."
Here's how the Project works:
An easily identifiable donation canister will be place in a location of your choice -- in a classroom, in a school or work cafeteria, or a retail store -- All will be encouraged to donate their spare change to the fight against breast cancer. Each canister will bear the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, North Jersey Affiliate logo as well as special INVEST YOUR CHANGE signature artwork.

Remember that even the smallest contributions can make a world of difference - a world without breast cancer.
