Making Bank for Charity

To help instill the idea of giving back at a young age, childrenswear manufacturer Pink Chicken of New York has developed its “Pinkie Bank” initiative. Parents can purchase one of the pink chicken banks from the website (pinkchicken.com) or their local retailer that carries the brand. During the month, caregivers help their kids to earn and collect money to fill up their bank—perhaps through bake sales, dog walking, raking leaves for neighbors, or completing their chores for the week. Then, customers can select a charity to donate to at Pink Chicken’s “Giving Back” page.
