5 Bucks Is Change

Just what is 5 bucks to most Americans? A hamburger, a fancy coffee, or a couple gallons of gas? To most of us, five bucks is just change. But in other parts of the world or in our own neighborhoods, five bucks can have an impact, especially when combined with other $5.00 donations. Very few of us are millionaires but almost all of us have a desire and the capability to be generous. We also have friends who have similar desires. So let’s put the good intentions together with good friends and have a party! “5 Bucks is Change” is an initiative to combine the idea of having a good time to raise a little money and support “micro-charities”. The program is sponsored by Janet M. Kennedy, a marketing and social media professional in Raleigh, NC. To send comments, suggestions of micro-charities or event stories, please e-mail janet@5bucksischange.com.
