On May 24th, 2006, Ellen and Stacey Leondis accepted a check for $2,000 from the students of P.S. 100Q in South Ozone Park, NY.  Students at P.S. 100Q had participated in the Common Cents Penny Harvest earlier in the year. During the penny harvest, students had one month to bring in as many pennies as they could; after the harvest, students were able to select the charity of their choice to receive the collected money.
