Pull Tabs for Merritt
thetrim
Posts: 11,352
I know we're all bummed that BB2020 is postponed.
The fundraiser for BB2020 was to help the little girl fighting cancer named Merrill. One thing @frazzdaddy mentioned was a push to help raise a Million pull tabs for her. I started collecting them at some point. I'm really not sure how many days it's been....
Let's start trying to gather as many of those as possible? At some point, we can send to @frazzdaddy or someone else in the area that could get them to Merritt's family?
I have a nice pile going and am almost embarrassed to say I counted tonight, and I'm sitting at 175 so far. Let's turn it into a bit of a competition and see who can gather the most. This can help bring us together as an egging community and focus on something positive!!!
It also gives us a good excuse to pop a few more tops than we should during this crazy, stressful time!
Cheers! I'll get to 180 tonight!

what will the pull tabs be used for? aluminum recycling?? a million tabs is only worth about $350-$400. Better to just collect money...XL BGE and Kamado Joe Jr.

There are several companies and sponsors that provide funding for kids with cancer based on weight on the tabs. It is not about actual value of the tabs. Matching funds and all kinds of things.
It all goes to helping young kids with cancer, I am in. Every little bit helps. Egg on my friends!I drink cheap beer so I can afford good bourbon.

I am not trying to ridicule the guy or effort. Just saying if the goal is raising money, just do that.XL BGE and Kamado Joe Jr.

I think the main effort was the young lady fighting cancer wanted to see if they could gather a million of those pull tabs.I guess it's not a cool enough request for the consummate Mr. Crank himself - @JonWesson to support, but it's one of those things that doesn't seem all that difficult to try and support. I agree that raising $$$ would be nice too, and that was the main fundraising effort of this years since postponed BrentBlast. The last time I checked, the family didn't have a GoFundMe site set up. But leave it the the purple helmet himself, @JonWesson, to hate on a ridicule a kid fighting cancer. Swell guy.=======================================

This cup is now pretty much full. Any guesses on the number of tabs in there?
In the hopes of generating more interest and getting more people to collect, I‘ll Venmo/PayPal $25 to whoever gets closest.I wish I could say I didn’t collect these all by myself. Time for a shutdown.=======================================
