Coins for Change is an annual virtual charity that has allowed penguins to donate their virtually earned coins to various booths and stands placed in-game on Club Penguin Rewritten. Real money is then given to charities because of the virtual contribution.
History
2017
On December 10, it was announced that Coins for Change was cancelled, due to their Privacy Policy and US Fair Use of Education law. However, it was brought back on December 12, 2017, and the money was from their ads on the website.
One day later, they announced the charities they would donate to, and those charities would be Lumos, WWF, and Make a Wish Foundation.[1][2][3]

In Issue #84 of the Club Penguin Times, it was announced that Coins for Change would be returning for 2018. It began on December 14, 2018 and ended on December 27, 2018.
