Hailey Shreffler is in the first grade at Panther Valley Elementary Schooland she got interested when she found out that a boy from the Lehighton School District could use bottle caps to pay for his cancer treatments. That was when she asked her grandmother to help her with the project to aid the Lehighton youngster. Buckets will be put in each classroom at PVES until the end of May in hopes of collecting a lot of plastic bottle caps. Save and send your caps with a student to school. The classroom with the highest amount will receive an ice cream party.

It would be great if this were true. But, the
American Cancer Society
says that this is a hoax.

Snopes

My research shows no ill person who ever received actual benefit from bottle tops or aluminum can tabs. Ask yourself 2 questions:
¤ Where do the caps end up? ¤ Not "where are they collected?" because they are collected from beauty shops to doctor's offices. Where do they end up and how can I contact them to confirm that it is true?
¤ What is the organization that pledges the financial aid? ¤ Which recycler or hospital? How can I contact them to confirm that it is true?
Trust me, if you chase the path of the caps, you will ever find the end! People eventually throw them away.
This page is being used to "confirm" that bottle cap collection is true. Sadly, it is not true.
Thanks for listening
