South Plains Schools Turn Pennies Into Miracles For UMC Get our free mobile app Have any spare change laying around? Think about how fast spare change can add up over time just in your own home. Now take that idea and expand it to 28 schools across the South Plains and just think how much money can be raised. That was the idea behind the "Miracles Pennies Campaign" benefitting the UMC Children's Hospital through the Children's Miracle Network. Students at area schools were asked to bring spare change for two weeks during the spring semester. Students also participated in contests, games, and dress-up days.
