17th ANNUAL Aluminum Tab Collection Contest
The Key Clubs from North and East High Schools hereby invite you to participate in our 17th ANNUAL Aluminum Tab Collection Contest.
Last year, our schools collected 1,959,866 pop tabs which raised $743.50 for the Ronald McDonald House. Through the first 16 years of collecting, we have recycled OVER 12 tons of aluminum tabs!!! And…more importantly, this has enabled us to donate $15,207 to the Indianapolis Ronald McDonald House. Thanks to all of you who have participated!
The contest begins immediately and will conclude on Tuesday, April 3, 2018.
Please Dress For the Weather!
