Thousands of aluminum cans tabs are being poured into a storage container ready to be donated to Ronald McDonald Charity House. The tabs were collected by Larry's Legacy, a charity organization in honor of Larry the Can Man VanNess. The organization recently hosted the new annual event called Larry Palooza. It was organized by a close friend of Van Ness, Anderson City Councilwoman Rachel Landers, after his passing.

Since he passed away. Ronald McDonald House. Let us continue to collect canned tabs under what he had built. We've reached a low over 31 million canned tabs, building on top of the 26.5 million that he did before he died.

Larry Palooza is a local event free to the public. Visitors can enjoy food, live music, and, of course, donate any canned tabs they might have. Last year's Larry Palooza was designed as a one time event, but the outpouring positive feedback inspire Portlanders to make it an annual celebration. According to Landers, this year over 100,000 can tabs were donated in the name of Larry the Can Man.
