At no cost, and with very little effort, you can contribute to a worthy charity.
Two Ronald McDonald Houses in the Phoenix area provide housing and low-cost meals for families of ill or injured children, who travel here for treatment at local hospitals or medical centers. Not only do they have a roof over their heads, but they gain support from other families and volunteers from the community. No one is ever turned away, and no one pays more than a nominal fee for the comforts of home.
By collecting tabs from beer, soda, tuna, tennis ball, and dog food cans, PebbleCreek residents support a unique fundraising program that helps to fund Ronald McDonald Houses. If you haven’t been saving your tabs, this is a perfect time to start. Just put a baggie in a top drawer in your kitchen and start putting the tabs in. When you have a bag full, or it gets in the way, drop it off at the front desk in either Eagle’s Nest or Tuscany Falls Clubhouse.
The tabs pile up quickly. Many PebbleCreek residents and sports clubs are very conscientious about saving them, adding to the recycling efforts of the community and contributing to a very worthy cause at the same time.
Since about 2008, I have been serving as the PebbleCreek Tabs coordinator. I regularly collect the baggies from the clubhouses, periodically take them to a Phoenix recycling center to be weighed, collect payment, and then send the money to the Ronald McDonald Charities. Simple and easy!
It is now time for me to retire from this position and pass it on to another volunteer, maybe to you. Let me know if you are ready to take on and continue this easy task, and I will be happy to share all the details.
