The Prairie Farms “Our Caps Your Cause” program has ended it’s cap registration program. Our Program Director Lion Gina Garcia has orchestrated the collection, peeling and registering over 100,000 caps over a 3 year period for a $5,000 lions Foundation donation from Prairie Farms. A big wonderful thank you to her and the crew of cap collectors (from all the Springfield Starbucks) and peelers (Mike Fishel & Mike Garcia) and code processor Lisa from the Mary Bryant Home who entered the 10 digit number for a nickel a cap (1 million numbers entered, yikes). We also provided an Indiana plastics factory with all the caps for remolding. Also a special thank you to Karla Eguez for originating the idea in the first place!!!! Below is the bench made from the caps we recycled and presented to Lisa for all her hard work.
