DISNEY HAS SELECTED THE GLOBAL PENGUIN SOCIETY TO BENEFIT FROM ITS CLUB PENGUIN “COINS FOR CHANGE” PROGRAM

 When kids participate in “Coins for change” program, they make virtual penguins help real penguins.

Fans of Club Penguin (clubpenguin.com), a product of Disney Online Studios, can unite from December 15 to 27 2011, to use online play to enact real-world social change as part of the fifth annual Coins For Change event.  Coins For Change allows children to donate virtual coins to provide medical help, build safe places and protect the earth.  This year, kids will be challenged to fill the island lighthouse with donated coins. If this goal is reached, Club Penguin has committed to doubling its overall cash donation to $2M US.

Coins For Change is designed to inspire, encourage, and enable kids to make a positive difference in the lives of families around the world, and through the Global Penguin Society in the lives of penguins in all the Planet. At the end of the event, the contribution from Disney Online Studios will be divided among pre-selected charitable projects, including the Global Penguin Society, aimed at helping children, families and the planet.
