For many years the IAJHSC has supported the Ronald McDonald Houses in Illinois by asking each school attending convention to bring one gallon of pop tabs per delegate so that the tabs can be recycled. The tabs are collected at convention, weighed, and taken to a recycling center to be exchanged for money. The money is then donated to the Ronald McDonald Houses. Unfortunately, in the earlier years of this project, we did not keep any records of our donations. However, in more recent years, we have begun to keep those records. A big THANK YOU goes to everyone for popping tabs! The mission of the Ronald McDonald Houses is to create, find, and support programs that directly help the well-being of children. Our donation each year helps them to achieve that very important mission!
