Thank you so much everyone. The publicity from this event more than doubled our friends list, it led to a huge increase in tab donations, and even some MUCH NEEDED cash donations for Maggie May. So really, everyone who voted, bulletined, commented, messaged, donated, and/or supported, thank you so much.

About me: This charity focuses on supporting children and families in need of medical support of any kind. Though only one year old as of July 19th 2007, we are working on deals with The Ronald McDonald House and The Make-A-Wish foundation to help people in need in a variety of ways.
Currently we are collecting and recycling pull-tabs from drink cans and using the money it generates to help families who can not afford much needed medical instruments and/or procedures, or their incredibly high medical bills. Soon we hope to announce multiple factions who will match any donation money raised through recycling tabs or received outright.
While willing to accept monetary donations, our main form of fund raising is in the collection of pull-tabs from beverage cans as the tabs are plentiful, cheap, easy to ship, and do not effect the cost of a recycled can. Also, we collect the large pull tabs from assorted grocery cans as well, including pet food can tabs, vegetable can tabs, soup can tabs, and many more!
If you would like to make a secure monetary donation through paypal, please click the button below. All money currently donated to TabsForLife will be held and put towards the next family/child we decide to help. Any amount, no matter how small, will help and be greatly appreciated. You do NOT necessarily need a paypal account to donate; You can donate via bank account, credit card, or paypal.

You'll find that tabs are everywhere; There's probably dozens of them in your house right now, but I doubt you've ever paid them much attention. Why should you? Let me tell you why.
By pulling tabs off from your surrounding soda and beer cans, and sending them to the owner of this page (more information in BLOG section), these little scraps of metal can be used to help hundreds of thousands of people. All tabs collected from this page will be given to children and families in need and will be recycled to help them pay for expenses and/or used to make wheelchairs and other instruments that millions of Americans need but can't afford. Your donations could help drastically improve the lives of these people.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone interested in helping this idea get off the ground. Much thanks to the people who have so quickly come to the aid of this idea.

Goal to have the Supreme Court Olmstead decision 6 to 3 Law enforced and have community-based programs for all who qualify for med waiver and consumer directed care which will save the taxpayers approximately 50% and provide opportunities for jobs instead of having disabled institutionalized in a nursing home.
