"Every year, our Kindness Club does a fundraiser to help purchase supplies and fund projects. We sell different things each year and this year we all voted to run a holiday fundraiser cookie pack where families could make cookies with cool cut-outs. I volunteered to do some of the shopping for our supplies which included sugar cookie mix, cookie cut outs, and colorful oven mitts. Our club met to put everything together and put it on sale to all of the families in our school. We were able to sell about 25 packs and our fundraiser was a success thanks to the Benjamin Project! This is a picture of the three of us who did the shopping holding the cookie packs for sale."

"With my $100, I donated my money to a local children's hospital for cancer research. I did this under the name of my Grandpa because he lost a 6-year battle with cancer. I know he would be proud of me for using my Benjamin Project on this."

"We used the $100 to purchase school supplies for our middle school math teacher's room. It was very easy to use the card to shop around, seeing where we could get the most for our money. The math teacher was so grateful & was thrilled to get some much needed supplies for her classroom. I chose this classroom and teacher because she's a fantastic teacher and had mentioned she needed more supplies. Thank you so much for this opportunity to help our students, teachers, & community!!"
