Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA (WFMZ Allentown) - An elementary school's quest to save pennies has really paid off.

It's a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Over the last three weeks, the students collected cash.

The winning team got a pizza party Friday. That honor went to the sixth graders at Siegfried.

Overall, the school raised more than $5,500 in pennies.
