Elementary School children can help provide comfort and care to Rio Grande Valley families.

Each year, Ronald McDonald House Charities receives help from thousands of school-children across the Rio Grande Valley.

How the pull tab works:

Elementary Students collect pull tabs from beverage cans to recycle for proceeds to benefit families in need who use our services. These funds collected are used to offset the expenses incurved of housing the families. The families who stay at the Ronald McDonald House are asked for a $10.00 donation, however if the family is not able to provide the funds they are not turned away.

The school that collects the most pull tabs during the school year will receive a personal Thank you from Ronald McDonald. This school will receive an exclusive magical show for their efforts in support of the Pull Tab Program. This school also receives the Traveling Trophy to display thru the upcoming school year.

By collecting the pull tabs elementary students are taught about donation, helping others, and working as a team. The Pull Tab program also provides educational benefits like reinforcement on mathematical concepts, teamwork and character building through community involvement.
