We were very ambitions in our aspirations for pitch day. We explained throughly what Imagination Library was in our Powerpoint. Along with a Powerpoint we made one sheets to help paraphrase what the Powerpoint was about. With the great success from the year before we thought we'd raise the bar a bit and try to go for $1000 this year. We made it a week long. The dates were September 17-21. This also happened to be the week of homecoming. Megan, Grace, and I decided that we would give water jugs as containers to hold the coins. We would give one jug for each grade in that particular school. At the end of the week we would pick up the jugs and take them to First Merchant Bank. The day itself had the mixed atmosphere of nerves and excitement. We finally got to present our idea that we worked so hard in coming up with. There was about 10 administrators in the room. We had to give each of them a one sheet of our presentation. When we were finally called up to the front of the room, we relaxed ourselves and had a great presentation. We spoke loud and clear and the feeling of nerves went away. We got through and got some great feedback from the administrators.

It all began when I got invited to join the Y-Give foundation for Hancock County. We had to do a fundraiser for Imagination Library, so Mr. Large and I decided that it would be best to do both projects as one fundraiser. I got together with Mrs. Young, Megan Jolly, and Grace Twyford, to gets ideas on the project that would become Penny Wars. The main goal was to raise $1000 dollars to give to the Imagination Library. This organization helps to give families with new kids, books to read so that they are able to become literate. It sends books to kids that are registered from when they are first born till they turn 5 years old. Currently they have over 1 million kids enrolled into the program.
