What if Your Child was Sick?

Have you ever thought about how lucky you are to have a healthy child?
What if your child had cancer, severe birth defects or mental illnesses? Would you be able to afford to miss all that work and stay in a hotel so you can be close to your child?
Probably you would stay at Ronald McDonald House; free temporary housing for parents of seriously ill children.
But, how is Ronald McDonald house funded? One important source of funding is all the pop tabs. When Ronald McDonald House receives the pop tabs, these are taken into a local scrap yard and exchanged for cash!
So, if your school wants to collect pop tabs but wasn't sure what to do with these once collected, the school could take these to the scrap yard themselves and issue a check to Ronald McDonald House for that amount.
The children would learn about being responsive to the needs of others and recycling. Ronald McDonald House would receive much needed donations.
How many pop tabs can you save in one week?
