Returns For Leukemia Bottle Drive

If you have a bunch of empties sitting in your garage you may want to wait until this weekend to return them as the United Food & CommercialWorkers, Local 12R24, and The Beer Store are hosting the fifth annual Returns For Leukemia Bottle Drive across Ontario.  You may have heard the radio ad's featuring Mill Street's Steve Abrams talking about it? (Mill Street matching any donation made by consumers that return their Mill Street bottles on May 29th and 30th)

On Saturday and Sunday, return your empty beer, wine and spirit bottles to the Beer Store to help raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada.  Last year the Beer Store raised more than $830,000 and this year they'd like to top the $1 million mark.

Beer Store employees (union) and The Beer Store have raised more than $2.2 million in the last four years. Donate 100% of your returns or even just a portion, any little bit helps.  (Beer Store radio ad)
