Penny Wars 2004
Organized and run by Matt Sturgeon '05, the penny wars project was a competitive fundraiser between each of the four classes held in late November.  The project was designed to raise awareness about the Millikin Fund among current students, and all money raised went to the fund on behalf of the winning class (the seniors).

"The first annual Penny Wars Project was truly a success! We accomplished our initial goal, promoting awareness and education for the Millikin Fund. It is of great importance for the undergraduates of today to contribute back to the University that encouraged such growth and excellence."

Rules Of Engagement
The purpose of the contest was not to see which class collected the most pennies. Each penny earned the class  positive points, but silver change took away points.
