Pennies for Preemies is a fundraiser that student Jennifer Pelluzzo started that raises money for The Linden Fund. The fund raises money for neonatal intensive care units all across Ontario by purchasing equipment and tools to assist parents in teaching how to care for their infant child, and resources for the nurses who work so hard to help these little miracles survive. Jennifer started the Pennies for Preemies drive just by putting little containers in the cafeteria, bookstore, and at Tim Hortons so that people could drop their pennies into it and donate to the charity. People were very generous and started to donate all their change. The support grew even larger when all Seneca Campuses joined in the fundraiser and raised money at their campus as well. The Pennies for Preemies fund raised $611.
