Purple the Globe™ - a Pennies in Action Initiative

Join the tsunami of concerned individuals growing world wide in efforts to raise funds necessary to allow the continued development of vaccines that really cure (or successfully fight) cancer! We want to involve everyone, everywhere, in helping to beat cancer. To participate in purpling the globe, we are asking for people to give a donation of at least $1 each, as part of a larger group. Groups can be anywhere from 2 people to families, offices, events, companies, teams, and schools. Purple the Globe started in local schools as part of our Youth Initiative, to fill in the void of funding cancer vaccines. At the urging of the kids participating, adults have become involved. CLICK HERE to see a sampling of the groups that have taken part in purpling the globe. From groups small to large, see how quickly the donations add up! There are 74 million students in the US alone - we plan to go national into every school - please help us to connect in your community. Be a part of making history and save millions of lives by covering the world in purple!

What is Purple the Globe?
It is a Pennies in Action initiative by “We the people around the globe.”

Our Mission and Vision
Pennies in Action is committed to furnishing the scientists with all the tools and resources necessary to accomplish the goal of removing the threat of cancer one vaccine at a time.

Pennies in Action’s mission is A World Without Cancer in Our Lifetime!

Why you would join our initiative
     • A lot of us are survivors or were touched by cancer
     • All Pennies in Action money goes to get this research over the finish line
     • Pennies in Action is all volunteers truly fighting for the cause
     • You will help stop the horrible suffering
     • You will be part of history

Who can participate?
Schools, teams, companies, events, offices, families, groups of 2 or more...

How does it work?
It is simple:
     • Raise a minimum of $1 per person and share the news of the development of a vaccine that allows an individual’s        own immune system to attack and to defeat cancer cells within one’s own body.
     • Go to our donation page to find out where to send the money you collect.
     • Forward the names of the groups from whom you collect money to Pennies in Action by U.S. Mail addressed to
       3100 Dutton Mill Road, Aston PA 19014 or via email addressed to ukeszler@penniesinaction.org.

All donations will be applied toward the direct costs of medical trials in the use of vaccines to prevent the recurrence of breast cancer conducted by Brian J. Czerniecki, M.D. of the University of Pennsylvania. The medical technology is here today, but the funding needs to be raised so the technology may be put into use.
