Club Founder: Isabel Bellino, [email protected]
"Spare Change for Change" (SC4C) was founded in March 2010 for Isabel's Bat Mitzvah project. She began by collecting spare change from her family and selling cookies once a week at school. Within a year, SC4C had raised over $1,000 for Orangewood Children's Foundation. Orangewood Children’s Foundation supports abused, neglected, and abandoned kids in Orange County. These children have been taken out of their homes and many are left with nothing. The money we collect supports the purchase of clothes, blankets, toys, and other items on the Foundation’s wish list. In 2012, Isabel established SC4C at the Orange County School of the Arts. Its mission is to raise funds to support Orangewood Children’s Foundation while raising awareness about the needs of at-risk youth in our community. School club members collect spare change throughout the academic year at their homes. Collection bottles are made by students using empty water bottles that feature a custom label and coin slot. SC4C hopes to grow to other High Schools in Orange County in Fall 2013.
