Breaking News!!! Big Penny 2.0 rebuild fundraiser fully funded in less than 6 hours!!!
Lansing you stepped up today in a big way! In less than 6 hours our campaign to rebuild Big Penny was fully funded! We didn't know if we were going to be able to fundraise enough to cover the costs associated with our planned rebuild, and it was weighing heavy in our hearts and in our minds. We were determined to rebuild Lansing's beloved Too Tall Truck Munching Bridge. But to what extent we were unsure. We came up with a plan, and it is going to cost around $2000 for the supplies. Something that is not really in our budget.
Any money that we have made selling stickers, and merch has gone directly to local charities. Over the last couple of years we've spent hundreds of not thousands of our own money. With one goal in mind, and that was to make Lansing smile. Not for recognition, or for financial gain. But to do something kind for the city that we call home. The city that we love.
Lansing you came through without hesitation. There were some haters, but there's always going to be a few. We now have the necessary funds to create Big Penny 2.0!!!!
We'll leave the fundraiser live until Friday. Anything beyond our goal will go towards covering taxes, and fees associated with the fundraiser. We might grab a couple pizzas, and a couple six packs to keep us going while working on Penny! Anything beyond that will go directly towards our mission of making Lansing smile!
Lansing we can't thank you enough. You are awesome. You amaze us everyday. You are the city that we love, and the city that we love to call home!β€οΈπ
Stay tuned for Big Penny 2.0 - The rise of Big Penny!
