Tony Danza Recognizes Students' $3.1 Million Gift :: PNNOnline :: the nonprofit news and information resource: "Garden's 11th annual Pasta for Pennies campaign by presenting a check for $3.1 million to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.


The check represented the spare change collected through Pasta for Pennies by more than one million students nationwide during a three-week period in the school year. The class collecting the most funds in each school received a pasta party courtesy of their local Olive Garden.


'What an amazing effort by these students,' said Danza. 'Programs such as Olive Garden's Pasta for Pennies are a great way to introduce kids to community involvement and teach them that even the smallest gifts of kindness can really add up"
