Yes, I just figured its an easy way to help donate, knowing that most people that do recycle want the cash. This way you still get the full amount for the can you recycle but RMHC gets the tab's which helps out in many more ways than people think. :-) :-)

I'll see if I can start collecting some, and get some friends to do the same. Great gesture Taki!

So Garry (garryyjr) decided this was for a good cause and figured he would help. He sent some tabs out the other day however they were not traveling alone!!!

First off....I thank you Garry for all the help with collecting tabs, I am very glad to have met you through CA. It's just tabs but this is extremely helpful. Second, you went way out of your way by suppling some fantastic sticks with the tabs :-) I appreciate the gesture but it will not be something I forget!!

Again if anyone is out there drinking soda, beer or what have you, please take the tabs off and collect them, send them my way so we can all help out even if it is only a little bit :-)

Please do not think for any chance that I started this to in some way expect cigars when sending tabs! As much as I appreciate the gesture, it is not for me, it is to help others in need!!!

Again, if you are collecting tabs, I appreciate all the help, just PM and I will send you some money for shipping and handling to send the tabs!!

I will continue to save mine until you say you don't need them anymore.

The Ronald McDonald thing - as well as Shriners actually started because of the heartbreak the rumor caused. People spent tons of effort and time based on the rumor only to find out the tabs were worth no more than the scrap. Ronald McDonald and Shriners don't get any more for them then scrap weight but wanted to provide an outlet to accept those donations to lesson the blow of finding out it was just a rumor.

I really appreciate all the help that I have received and still am receiving with this little project!!!

How this helps: The money generated (granted it is not millions) helps offset the cost of family memebers of treated patients staying near the hospital whether that is 1 day or 1 month, the Ronald McDonald Charity group helps pay for rooms.

How this helps my co-worker: Currently my co-workers nephew is still being treated monthly at the childrens hospital in Philadelphia. This generousity by the Ronald McDonald Charity allows my co-workers sister to stay nearby while her son receives treatment.

This is a great cause and I still am collecting tabs!!! (Big Thank You to Gary)

Thank you,
Taki

No worries. I got no use for them. Glad you can use them.

One of my dear friends does this because her son, who passéd away three years ago, was also in the hospital numerous times. We collect them and give them to her for the McDonald house. Small gesture that has a big impact.
