BEERP: "BURP" for Eyeglasses

We kicked off our BEERP program again this year (yes, it is pronounced "burp" and the kids love it) with the Brownsburg Lions Club (Brown Elementary Eyeglass Recycling Program)! We, as a community, collected almost 1,500 glasses, lenses, pieces for recycling eyeglasses, cases, etc last year and hope to get close to that goal again this year. In fact, we learned of a man that finally saw his little girl's smile clearly for the first time because of the eyeglasses we collected!

We will be doing this collection until spring, so please save all glasses, lenses, frames, cases, etc. We will take everything!

Our 4th graders thank you for your contribution and the gift of sight you're giving to someone through your donation!
