Help the Children of Marsh Fork Elementary School - Support the Pennies of Promise Campaign

The children of Marsh Fork Elementary School in Sundial, West Virginia are in danger. A massive coal processing plant and silo stand a stone's throw away from their playground. Nearly 3 billion gallons of toxic sludge sit behind a leaking impoundment dam 400 yards from the school. The kids face constant health threats from the dust and other chemicals put into the air by the processing plant, and those with the authority to fix the situation, agencies like the state and local school boards, the DEP, and the EPA, have remained silent on the matter. Even the governor of West Virginia, Joe Manchin, who has said that his main concern is with the children, has fallen down on his promises.

Recently the Marsh Fork issue has gained national attention, with articles in Vanity Fair and a feature on ABC World News Tonight, and no longer can the plight of these children be kept in the dark.

Members of the Marsh Fork community and concerned citizens across the nation feel that now is the time to take the health and safety of these kids into our own hands. Many have come together to raise awareness and funds for a new school, and with your help, we know that the kids of Marsh Fork can be moved out of harm's way.
