Edison Middle School donated more than $1,200 to
Humanitarian Service Project this week! The money was raised through an event called
“Money Madness” which is similar to Penny Wars where each class receives a jar
to collect coins and the class that collects the most, wins. Grades sixth
through eighth participated in this event, making it a huge success. Money
Madness was sponsored by the Student Council and the advisers Virginia Jones
and Heather Gordon helped make this great event possible! The money raised by
Edison Middle School will be used towards the Children’s Birthday Project.

Kristin, our Assistant Executive Director, and
Karole’s successor, represented HSP at the school yesterday afternoon and was
overwhelmed by how generous the students were! The Middle School has done many
fundraisers for us before with equally generous results. Everyone at HSP is extremely grateful to the
students at Edison Middle School. Thank you!
The Children’s Birthday Project provides birthday gifts
for more than 900 children ages 3 to 11 living in poverty in DuPage and Kane
County. Through the Project, we give the children a Birthday Box that weighs
20-25 pounds and contains 6-10 new toys, 6 new books, a game or activity kit;
plush animals; several smaller gifts, and a “Party-in-a-Bag” that contains cake
mix, frosting, candles, balloons, plates, cups, hats, party favors, streamers and
more! If you or your organization would like to volunteer or donate, send us an
email at hsp@humanitarianservice.org.
