Every Tab Counts!
Do you know it takes about 2.4 million tabs to purchase a wheelchair? Imagine if we all picked up a tab, or two or more and put our collections together? We’re asking everyone to bring in their tab collections to the Sleeman Pick Up The Tab Guelph Storm game so that we can help the Elora Legion raise money for wheelchairs, walkers and assistive devices across Canada.
To up the game, we partnered with The Guelph Community Foundation to put on some exciting contests! Do you think you can pull together one of the largest tab collections to support Tabs 4 Wheelchairs? Decide your category below:
