This year, Coins for Change is looking a little different on Club Penguin Journey. Instead of choosing one charity, we are teaming up with The Jingle Jam organization to help make an even greater impact. Jingle Jam partners with eight incredible charities, and thanks to their mission, every coin donated by our community will help support all eight.
From December 1 to 14, during the construction of our 2025 Holiday Party, you will be able to donate your in-game coins to Coins for Change and work together with the community to reach special in-game goals and unlock rewards. But this year, you can also donate real funds to support Jingle Jam. (Donations are not required and do not provide any in-game rewards) We will provide a link for donations at the end of this post. Anyone who donates £35 ($44) or more to our campaign will receive Jingle Jam’s exclusive one-of-a-kind Games Collection.
Here is a closer look at Jingle Jam and the amazing charities your contributions will support.
About Jingle Jam
Jingle Jam brings together games, creators, and communities around the world to support children and young people. Each year, their annual event raises funds that are distributed to partner charities doing life-changing work. They are a registered charity based in England and Wales, and every event is run by their subsidiary company, which donates 100 percent of proceeds back to the cause. You can visit their site here.
The Eight Partner Charities
CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably)
CALM works to prevent suicide in the UK by offering a free, anonymous helpline and tools for anyone affected by suicidal thoughts. They raise awareness and challenge stigma through powerful mental health campaigns.
War Child
For more than 30 years, War Child has supported children affected by conflict. Their teams work in communities and refugee camps, creating spaces where children can learn, play, and begin to heal.
Autistica
Autistica is the UK’s leading autism research charity, working toward a world where autistic people live happy, healthy, long lives. They fund research, shape policy, and collaborate closely with autistic people to build a more inclusive future.
Become
Become supports children and young people who have experienced the care system. They listen, advocate, and push for change so every young person receives the love, stability, and opportunities they deserve.
The Grand Appeal
As the official charity for Bristol Children’s Hospital, The Grand Appeal has spent 30 years helping critically ill children and their families through incredibly challenging moments.
Make-A-Wish
Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses around the world. A wish can bring strength, joy, and hope during life’s hardest moments.
The Trevor Project
The Trevor Project aims to end suicide among LGBTQ+ young people through 24 hours a day crisis services, research, education, advocacy, and community support.
WWF (Worldwide Fund for Nature)
WWF is one of the world’s largest conservation organizations, working in nearly 100 countries to protect habitats, restore nature, and address global threats such as climate change and unsustainable resource use.
Coins for Change has always been about coming together to help others. This year, we are excited to continue that tradition while supporting a global effort that reaches many different causes at once.
Jingle Jam will stop collecting donations for their organization on December 14th, and Coins for Change will officially end on the same date. However, any community milestone rewards that were earned by that date will remain available for all players to claim during the Holiday Party.
We know that was a lot of information! So here are some key takeaways!
- No purchase or donation is required to participate in Coins for Change
- Real-money donations through our Jingle Jam campaign are completely optional
- In-game rewards only come from donating in-game coins to the Coins for Change buckets
- Donations made through our campaign do not unlock any in-game items or bonuses
- Only donations of £35 ($44) or more through the donation page qualify for the Jingle Jam Games Collection, which is provided directly by Jingle Jam and not by CPJ
- Questions about Coins for Change can go through our support site, and questions about the Games Collection should be directed to the Jingle Jam team
We cannot wait to see what our community accomplishes together from December 1 to 14.
Until next time…Waddle On!
– The Club Penguin Journey Team
