Yes, pop tabs. That little insignificant tab you pull to open a can of pop (or pet food, veggies, or any other can with a ring tab), can make a significant impact on your fundraising future. The aluminum can is valuable, but the tab is made of a more pure, highgrade aluminum. This small metal tab is like a gold nugget to our House. It's easily removed from the can.
Anyone can join in your group's effort and share in the satisfaction one gets when helping others.
Bring your pop tabs to: Ronald
