On Saturday, September 28th, the 15th Annual Olivia Andrews Tab Run took place to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House in Columbus, Georgia. There were over 800 motorcycles, bringing more than 1200 riders from Griffin to Columbus. They road on the Manchester Expressway, down I-185 to Victory Drive and then arrived at the National Infantry Museum to celebrate in the afternoon.
While most people would assume that the charity ride helped to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House – you might want to think again. Rather than collecting money, the group collects pop tabs.
As Beth Mancini, the Program Director for Ronald McDonald House Charities of West Georgia, said, “They bring in, literally, tons and tons of pop tabs. They save them all through the year, all the different subgroups from their biker organization, and they bring in a huge trailer.”
The Ronald McDonald House is then able to recycle the pop tabs and to make thousands of dollars for the house in Columbus.
