Ronald McDonald House Fundraiser, Will You Join Us Too?

Our latest endeavor will require the help of you as well.

We are friends with a military family who has two special needs children of their four. The latest member of their family is a beautiful little 2 year old girl named Victoria (we call her Tori). Tori and her brother, Teddy, who is only 4 years old himself have severe disabilities. Tori has already had several surgeries in her short little life and had her last one as recently as this past Thursday, January 10, 2013. She is a strong and courageous little girl with a strong will to fight for all she has wrong with her. This latest surgery was to place a GI feeding tube in her so she could begin to gain weight again instead of continuously losing it. Due to the children's hospital being two hours one way from their house, they were able to use the Ronald McDonald House so the family could be close to her during her stay in the hospital. They were so impressed with their stay and the "special" accommodations they received while being there that they are going to start collecting pull tabs from soda cans, soup cans and chef boyardee cans.  Anything that has a pull tab to open the can will be used to help The Ronald McDonald House collect money.

I am going to join her in collecting as many pop tabs as I can collect so she can turn them into her local RMH. If you would like to join us and need my address just click the email link to the right and I will give you my address. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated by this family. 

Below is a break down of how the Ronald McDonald House uses this fundraiser to help their organization.

Will you prayerfully join me in helping this family show their Ronald McDonald House how much they appreciated their support.

Thank You!!! _____________________________________________________________________

Pop Tab Collections

Collecting pop tabs is a great way to teach kids about philanthropy and the importance of recycling, and raise funds to help children and their families at the same time. Some of our Chapters raise thousands of dollars with their pop tab collections.

Why?

Ronald McDonald Houses collect pop tabs instead of entire aluminum cans because it's more hygienic to store tabs than cans, and collection and storage is easier. The program is an easy way for people of all ages to support RMHC and know they are making a difference for families and children.

How much?

After the tabs are collected, the local RMHC Chapter brings the collection to local recycling centers, where they are weighed to determine their value (values can vary significantly). The recycling center then sends the local RMHC Chapter a check for the total value.
