Helping Tomorrow’s Business Leader

FBLA-PBL and March of Dimes began their partnership in 1970, and since then March of Dimes has been FBLA-PBL’s only national charity partner. March of Dimes attends every national and regional FBLA-PBL conference. Since the partnership began, FBLA-PBL has raised millions of dollars for the March of Dimes, and the March of Dimes message has been broadcasted to hundreds of thousands of kids. Each year, FBLA-PBL generates over $500,000 for March of Dimes.

Coin Wars is a fundraising idea for March of Dimes and is a fun way to involve your entire school in the fundraising efforts. With Coin Wars, you distinguish between the various grades in your school, and the goal is essentially a competition between the classes.

The way the competition works is that for each penny that a certain grade level donates, they receive one point. However, other grade levels can donate larger amounts ( dollars, nickels, dimes, etc.) and subtract points from a designated grade. For example, if a freshman donated a quarter for seniors, then the seniors would lose 25 points, a dollar would be -100 points and so on.

Coin Wars encourages the donation of larger bills to detract points form other grades, and essentially involves everyone in a fun manner while still raising money for a good cause.
