Operation USO tabs for Education

For the upcoming program we will continue to collect can tabs to present to the USO at our Princess Community Service event – Our Goal: 1 million!!!

These tabs (soda, beer, energy, even V-8) are turned into a local organization that allows the schools and families on base to use them like cash to purchase school equipment and supplies. In 2011, the Princess from Maryland collected thousands (enough to fill a 35oz container). We would like to see this amount collected by each state society – approximately 20 thousand tabs!!

Set up a container at work, when you have a party, at your church, collect them at a Tailgating Party. We have one family member that works at a golf course and she is collecting approximately 500 per week!

Drop off will be at Princess Orientation, Sunday, April 6, 2014 - Renaissance Washington, DC Hotel - or give them to your Princess for delivery.

Below is the wording for the containers (in 40 font or larger):

We are collecting 1 million tabs by Tuesday, April 8, 2014
