28 lbs from Rhythm & Roots 2006!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
We collected 28 pounds of can tabs from enthusiastic festival attendees at this year's Rhythm & Roots Festival (Sep 1-3).
From single tabs to huge containers full of tabs, Rhythm & Roots staff and patrons alike contributed their can tabs thru out the 3 day festival.
A very special thank you to Susan Quigley,
head of R&R's Kitchen & Beverage Crew for her single donation of almost 25 pounds of can tabs. Her scout troops had been collecting them all year long.
So a HUGE shout out and thank you to
Pack 55 Cub Scouts of Garden City and
Junior Troop #1636 Girl Scouts of Garden City.
Both groups received support from other troops and the surrounding community. Way to go!
The tabs collected will be delivered to the Pyramid Shriners #9 in Milford, CT in late September to be distributed to the Springfield, MA Shriners Hospital.
A little wet from the rain, our can tab collection bin
was still hard at work .

Many thanks to Susan Quigley and her scouts.
(Susan has another 20+lbs of tabs in bags at her feet)

Thanks for helping us to help the kids.
Shriners Hospitals for Children in Springfield and Boston have been collecting pull-tabs or “pop-tops” from beverage cans since 1989, recycling them, and putting the money toward programs that directly benefit children. Since its inception, about a half-million pounds of aluminum tabs have been collected and recycled.
