Colorectal
Cancer and the
Penny Pyramid
Project
.

Colorectal Cancer is the
#2 cancer killer of men
and women in the U.S.
There are approximately
145,000 new cases of
colon cancer and 56,000
deaths in the US alone  
each year.  Just one
simple screening can
help prevent a lifetime of
pain and suffering.
 

It is the projects goal to
build momentum and
awareness on new
technologies such as
capsule endoscopy
(
PillcamTM), and all other
types of screening and
testing that can catch
this disease at a very
treatable stage.  Our
vision of "Collect, Build,
Donate" through  penny
collection drives will help
pave the way in getting
this word out.  This is
just one way we will be  
putting our smallest   
denomination to work!  

Along with the Penny
Pyramid World record  
attempt,  there will  be
other fun and interactive
events that you can
share in,... stay tuned!

Are you a Penny
hoarder?

We have all suffered
from this affliction at
one point or another.  
The subconscious act
of simply dumping one
pennies into a jar or
other black hole type
containers!   In this site
you will find economic
reasons, constructive
fun, and charitable
options in ridding this
uncontrollable urge.   
The  "Penny Pyramid
Project" is also here to
promote and educate
that the penny
continues to be a very
important denomination
and that there are ways
to responsibly Collect,
Build, and Donate this
commonly hoarded coin.
Help Recycle The
Penny by organizing
your own Penny
collection drive !

on how  to organize
