Kids Raise Money for Earth 911

Four entrepreneurial kids in Mechanicsburg, PA, according to the letter received here at Earth 911, from mother Mary Megna, wanted to do something to help the Earth and stop global warming. So Jess Megna and her friend, Amanda Banzhoff, decided to organize a yard sale and contribute the proceeds to Earth 911.

On May 5th, 2007, they collected $65.91. The children in the photo include Ethan Gourley, Jess Megna, Amanda Banzhoff, and Rebekah Alvey. Also helping with the yard sale (not pictured) were Billy Sheafer, Jonathan Bonner, Katie Davis, Abby Shumaker, and Ben Underwood.

Thanks for Making Every Day Earth Day™.

The Staff at Earth 911

    What a simple but effective method of promoting the “Reuse” segment on Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. It’s easy to help “Make a Difference”!

    These Kids Rock!
