The 4-H Club in Brown County’s Happy Valley coordinated a countywide effort to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House by collecting pop tabs. Beginning in the spring of 2019, the club began a drive for all Brown County 4-H clubs to collect the small tabs from aluminum cans. Clubs brought their pop tops to the Brown County STEM Innovation Center for a weigh-in over the weekend, and ended up with nearly 600 pounds of aluminum tabs. Through additional partnerships and charitable contributions from local organizations, Happy Valley 4-H club will present a donation of more than 700,000 aluminum tabs as well as additional cash donations to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern Wisconsin. Any groups interested in helping Brown County 4-H to collect pop tabs can email BC4HPopTabs@gmail.com, or contact the 4-H program at the Extension Brown County office by calling 920-391-4654.
