punks for presents

About Me

Punks For Presents is a local (richmond, va) non profit organization dedicated to putting on ridiculous events to benefit richmond area charities and whatever the fuck else we deem worthy.. but its usually for kids.


grand total of $$$ raised so far ... $ 24,570.00 $
********************************************** !! TAKE YOUR TOP OFF !!

an ongoing benefit for the local ronald mcdonald house!
********************************************** ..
donation jars are being put in all of your favorite restaurants and bars to collect the top pop tabs from aluminum cans. the tops which contain pure-high quality aluminum, unlike cans which consist of other alloys, will be collected and then turned into the ronald mcdonald house who will take them to the local recycling center. so far the local RMCH chapter has recycled over 400 million tabs generating more than $4 million dollars for their program. being the pbr consumers that we are we are asking that before you crumple that can and go for another round take the time to take off the tab and drop it in the jar. (bartenders dont always have the time to do this) also, feel free to collect them at your home and bring them in!
if your business would be interested in putting a punks for presents jar in your place of amazingness please get in touch!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

YOU! punks for presents isnt any one group of people its everyone. the more people we have involved the more successful we will be. its not just about the people organizing the events its about you.. the kids who take the time to come out to the events, the bands who play for free, the bartenders who donate 100% of their tips, the people who donate their artwork, the kids who bid outrageously on the artwork, the compassionate people who leave amazingly absurd tips, and the fine folks who take any skill or resource available to them and lend a hand by printing up flyers, printing t-shirts, and giving us free advertising space. If you'd like to help out in any way please feel free to contact us!
