Empire 8 Makes Annual Donation of Pop Tabs to Ronald McDonald House
The Empire 8 member institutions have been collecting pop tabs throughout the year and recently made its annual donation to the Ronald McDonald House Charities Rochester, NY.
Little things can make a big difference. The funds generated from recycling the little tabs you pull to open soda, soup or other aluminum cans help offset the House’s expenses.
Ronald McDonald House Charities© (RMHC©) helps families of ill children cope with the stress and expense of daily living while trying to be close and emotionally strong for their child. More than just a room and a hot meal, the Ronald McDonald House© is a home away from home for families. It can be a quiet place to be alone, or a place of companionship, sharing, and emotional support.
The Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) advisors and student-athlete representatives that took part in the Empire 8 Leadership Summit (Jan 26-27, 2018) brought the pop-tabs to Rochester with them and the E8 made their fourth donation to RMHC on behalf of the conference.
Each campus is encouraged to continue to collect year round so the donation can continue to grow each year.
