KJAA members showing off pop tab collections! So collect pop tabs all year long and let us know how you are doing. We'll total it up at the Preview Show before heading to NJAS. Above, Amanda Laas, Meghan Blythe and Ashley Laas show off the total pop tabs from Kansas before turning them in for the contest! |

The Pop Tab collection does impact the Sweepstakes award! The goal for the entire NJAS is 20,000 pop tabs. Angus Juniors from across the nation make it possible for families to spend the night at the Ronald McDonald House free of charge. This is an awesome community service project and lots of fun! Kansas Juniors will continue to collect pop tabs throughout the year and hope to beat last year's total. Tabs will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities, a charity that provides families of seriously ill children a place to stay while the child is in the hospital. According to the website for Ronald McDonald House Charities (rmhc.org) pop tabs are collected because the tabs are of a higher quality aluminum than the cans. It takes 144 pounds of pop tabs for one family to stay one night at a Ronald McDonald house. As you collect pop tabs, please email Meghan or Ashley with any questions, suggestions for collection and eventually totals you collected. Please bring them to the Preview Show and we'll add them all up! Keep collecting until the NJAS!
