South Georgia Technical College recently held a “Penny War” on the Americus campus as a fundraiser to fight breast cancer. The Law Enforcement Academy won the friendly competition for the largest contribution.

In total, the effort netted nearly $200. Other programs that participated were cosmetology, criminal justice, culinary arts, electrical systems, medical assisting, and practical nursing.
