FUNDRED DOLLAR BILL
Community Service Patch Program

Patch #FUNDRED: $1.55

The FUNDRED DOLLAR BILL PROJECT engages students in a simple, fun, and rewarding nationwide service-learning project that has a serious and profound commitment. This innovative art/science project has a critical mission to transform the environmental conditions of lead contamination that threaten the health of youth. Lead contamination is an issue in most American cities, and lead poisoning affects hundreds of thousands of kids. Lead poisoning places children at risk for severe learning disabilities and behavioral problems, including violent crime.

The FUNDRED DOLLAR BILL PROJECT wants you and children get involved in an exciting nationwide project:

The project supports the healthy rebuilding of New Orleans and cities across America to help end lead poisoning.

It is easy to implement and can be completed in 20-30 minutes.

It allows particpants to create art and make a difference.

Their art will become part of a national collection of millions of students' drawings.
