The Penny Drive began in 1996, and funds raised support the Spokane Guilds' School Foundation.  This fund distributes approximately $180,000 per year to the operation of the Spokane Guilds' School & Neuromuscular Center (SGS&NMC) and helps ensure that funding will be available for years to come, regardless of government funding.  At the SGS&NMC, over 200 children annually with developmental disabilities in Spokane County receive a comprehensive neuromuscular assessment, followed by individualized treatment including physical, occupational, speech and language and cognitive therapies, regardless of ability to pay.
