✨PENNY WAR✨

The annual penny war of The Montcalm Area Career Center - The MACC kicks off next week and goes from 11/10-11/14. Each year, organizations are nominated and voted on by students, This year, the students chose RAVE to be the recipient! We are so grateful to the students who nominated and voted for us.

Now, they need your help! Every year, the Public Safety class allows RAVE to come in and present to the students about our organization for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. So, we are seeing if anyone in the community would love to help out their class win the penny war. Proceeds go towards supporting survivors, and the winning class gets a pizza party🍕

Pennies/coins and checks are accepted! If you have any questions or are interested in contributing towards the penny war, please reach out to our Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator, Alexis (alexist@raveim.org), for more information.

Good luck to all of the classes this year!
