Child honored for collecting pop tabs to aid Ronald McDonald House
Summary
The Village of Manhattan presented a star award to 2-year-old Quinn McCleverty for collecting pop tabs to support the Ronald McDonald House; the mayor said Quinn’s family received critical support during his treatment and the community praised his fundraising effort.
The mayor presented a star award to Quinn McCleverty and highlighted the family’s experience when Quinn, just shy of his second birthday, was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor. “For the 10 days surrounding Quinn’s treatment, the Ronald McDonald House provided comfort, support, [and] a place for the family to remain by his side,” the mayor said.
The mayor said Quinn has launched a campaign to collect 1,000,000 pop tabs, aiming for membership in the Ronald McDonald House “millionaires club.” The mayor added: “Every pop tab counts. Every family matters.” The board offered congratulations and described Quinn’s effort as an example of community generosity.
