Jail & Bail

One of the March of Dimes favorite events, Jail & Bail brings together community leaders and ordinary citizens for a common cause… fighting birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Since its inception in 1957, more than 5 million citizens have volunteered their time in the name of fun – and a good cause.

March of Dimes

The March of Dimes mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. We carry out this mission through research, community services, education and advocacy to save babies’ lives. March of Dimes researchers, volunteers, educators, outreach workers and advocates work together to give all babies a fighting chance against the threats to their health: prematurity, birth defects, low birthweight.

Consumers at Profiles Enrichment Center, the adult development program at Independent Living Services, continue to collect soda can tabs for Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Last year, friends of the Ronald McDonald House around the nation collected approximately 60,000 pounds of pop-tabs, raising over $24,000 to help provide families a home-away-from-home.

Proceeds from the recycled soda can tabs collected by Profiles Enrichment Center are used to help pay for operations costs of the local Ronald McDonald House in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Your soda can tabs may be dropped off at Profiles Enrichment Center in Conway.

Why soda can tabs?

Ronald McDonald Houses collect pop tabs instead of entire aluminum cans because the tabs are pure high-quality aluminum, unlike cans, which consist of aluminum and other alloys. Tabs are also easier to store than whole cans.

Collecting pop tabs is a great way to teach kids about philanthropy and the importance of recycling, and raise funds to help children and their families at the same time.

Ronald McDonald House Charities

The mission of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) is to create, find and support programs that directly improve the health and well being of children.
