Bro. Robert Oliver of Ackerman is shown here with a worker from St. Jude’s Ronald McDonald House in Memphis. On Friday, February 15, Bro. Robert and carried 275 gallons of tabs from the tops of aluminum cans to the Ronald McDonald house at Saint Jude‘s. The tabs are “purchased” by individuals who in tern donate money to Saint Jude’s. No child receives a bill from Saint Jude’s or the Ronald McDonald House. Each child receives treatment as a result of generous donors who want to see cancer eliminated in children and adults. Thanks to sponsors like Robert Oliver, one day cancer will be eliminated. In the meantime, research continues and children receive treatment thanks to generous donors who want to see a brighter future for our children.
Many patients and their families stay at the local Ronald McDonald House in Memphis, and Ronald McDonald House Charities collect aluminum can tabs to help with expenses. Keep in mind that every 1,267 tabs you save equals one pound of high-grade aluminum. We recommend contacting your local Ronald McDonald House for more information.
