Penny Wars at ProMed



For the past three weeks, Penny Wars have been raging at ProMed! The competition was a fundraiser for the Barnes Foundation's Second Annual Walk/Run for Life, which benefits the American Cancer Society's Illinois Patient Navigation Services.

Here's how it worked: Each department was assigned a bucket. Pennies that were placed in the bucket had a positive value. Any silver coins or paper money that were placed in the bucket had a negative value. For example, if a team put 25 pennies in their bucket, those pennies would be canceled out if somebody put a quarter in the bucket.

This year, sabotage was the name of the game! With a great prize on the line - being able to wear jeans to work every day for two weeks - departments were in it to win it!

Here are the final standings - don't forget, negative amounts mean that other teams contributed "sabotage money."

First Place: Warehouse
$64.70 contributed, $40.75 in sabotage money
Total: $23.95
Second Place: Customer Service
$90.70 contributed, $106.15 in sabotage money
Total: -$15.45
Third Place: Finance/HR
$67 contributed, $93.85 in sabotage money

Fourth Place: MedB
$15.25 contributed, $69.80 in sabotage money
Total: -$54.55
Fifth Place:IT/Inside Sales
44 cents contributed, $62.75 in sabotage money

Sixth Place: Purchasing/Special Sales
