Parade of Pennies

The Parade of Pennies Party is a great tradition in our community. For several months prior to this December event, cans are placed at area businesses to collect your loose change donations.  We take that money, along with money raised through other events throughout the year, and we give Christmas to local Hopkinsville children that may not otherwise have it.

Junior Auxiliary teams up with other outreach organizations to get the names of local children who have not been selected for the Angel Tree or other gift giving programs and provides them with a safe environment where food, activities, and gifts are provided. Santa and his elves even stop by to hand out the presents!  Depending on the amount we are able to raise each year, we give each child basic needs items and something fun like a new toy.
