POP TABS for Ronald McDonald House!
This year, the Pop Tab collection will impact the Sweepstakes award! The goal for the entire NJAS is 20,000 pop tabs. Chairmen of the Kansas Pop Tab committee Ashley Laas and Meghan Blythe have set a goal for KJAA of 2 pounds...that equals 2,534 tabs!
Last year the NJAS competition only ran during the week of the NJAS, and 18,500 pop tabs were collected. This year, each state is collecting pop tabs all year. Tabs will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities, a charity that provides families of seriously ill children a place to stay while the child is in the hospital. According to the website for Ronald McDonald House Charities (rmhc.org) pop tabs are collected because the tabs are of a higher quality aluminum than the cans.
It takes 144 pounds of pop tabs for one family to stay one night at a Ronald McDonald house. As you collect pop tabs, please email Meghan or Ashley to let us know how many you have. We'll keep track on this site. Please bring them to the Preview Show June 6-7 and we'll add them all up! Keep collecting until the NJAS!
