Exciting news! Our brand-new pop tab collection box has officially landed at Fire Station 19, right at 2530 Edgecumbe Road in Saint Paul!

We’re thrilled to partner with this historic station, known for its community dedication. A huge shout-out to Clayton Evert, an incredible paramedic, for helping us secure this wonderful spot! Fun things are happening—stop by, drop your tabs, and let’s make a big impact together!

For over a year, Authentique Beauties Pageant - Minnesota has been collecting pop tabs in support of Ronald McDonald House Upper Midwest through the Pull Together initiative.

One of our collection spots is extra special to us: the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts , where our State Director, Corinne, has worked for more than 10 years and where her love for the arts continues to grow.

Today, after her shift, Corinne went to check the pop tab jar she had placed in the Ordway ushers lounge—and was completely surprised to find not only more tabs in 0the original jar, but THREE additional jars completely full of pop tabs waiting for her!

Her happy yelp was as if she had struck gold. 💛

To whoever anonymously donated those jars: thank you. Your kindness truly made our day, and those tiny tabs will help make a meaningful difference for families served by Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest.

Thank you to everyone who continues to collect with us. Please keep saving those pop tabs and helping us support this wonderful cause—one little tab at a time. ❤️

As a leading health organization, it drives policy changes, educates the public, and trains millions in CPR annually to reduce cardiovascular risks.

9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. In most of those cases, bystander CPR was not performed. But we can change this.

Cardiac arrests happen at work, in homes, on athletic fields and in neighborhoods everywhere, and the readiness of our community can be the difference between life and death.

It's time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.
