First, let’s start with a poll. (Yes, I LOVE polls!! )

The Coins for Change was a campaign that happened around Christmas time last year (2007). And guess what?! It’s back! On December the 12th! You will NOT want to miss it.

The Coins for Change Campaign helped raise money for three different organisations: Helping Sick Kids, Kids in Poverty, and Helping the Environment. Penguins would choose one (or all!!) of the three things to donate too.

But, Club Penguin has made it so that you don’t donate real money – you donate Club Penguin virtual coins! By heading over to the donation boxes, you could select how many coins you wanted to donate (see above for a picture of that!) and get a free item – a Christmas bell!

How does this work? After all, virtual coins aren’t real – they couldn’t do much. But what happens is Club Penguin will match the money up with the coins donated.

CP had promised to donate 1 million dollars, and this is divided up between the three organisations. It’s up to you (the donating penguins) to choose how much goes to what organisation. The one with the most donated coins will get the most money. The more you donate, the more your choice will get!

Here are the results of the 2007 Coins for Change:

So start saving up your coins, because the Coins for Change will be here on the 12th of December. You can change the world, and make a difference by just playing a few games and earning virtual coins! How cool?!

So go for it!!
