Psi Chi’s Philanthropy Committee is excited to announce that Penny Wars is back!
What: The goal of a Penny War is to collect as many PENNIES as possible in your jar AND put as many NON-PENNIES in everyone else’s jars.
Psi Chi decided to have student cohorts compete against one another while MSP faculty and staff compete against one another. Therefore, there will be two winners: a student cohort and either faculty or staff.
Who: You! There are 5 student teams and 2 staff/faculty teams!
- Student Cohorts (Competing against one another)
- Master’s students/ABA
- PsyD 1s
- PsyD 2s
- PsyD 3s
- PsyD4s and above
- Staff and Faculty (Competing against one another)
- Staff
- Faculty
When: March 16th- March 27th, 2020
Where: Student collection jars will be set up in the atrium at MSP. Staff and Faculty jars will be in the faculty lounge.
Prize: The winning teams will receive a pizza party!
How does it work? Money is worth “points” based on its monetary value.
- Pennies = 1 point
- Nickels = 5 points
- Dimes = 10 points
- Quarters = 25 points
- $1 Bills = 100 points
- $5 Bills = 500 points
- $10 Bills = 1,000 points
- $20 Bills = 2,000 points
But there’s another key rule in a Penny War. Pennies give your team POSITIVE points—while nickels, dimes, quarters, and any dollar bills take points AWAY from the team’s total. Therefore, you want to put PENNIES in YOUR TEAM’S jar (positive points). However, you want to put nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollar bills (negative points) in the jars of OTHER TEAMS jars. The goal is for your team to have the most POSITIVE points by the end of the fundraiser.
All money will be donated by Psi Chi to a school within the Detroit Public School System.
