Yes, canning is how THON makes a huge portion of its money. I spent many weekends canning around Erie - basically just standing on designated street corners asking for donations.
Students drive out-of-state to reach as many people as possible.
If you see anyone holding one of these cans, please donate! Students make great efforts to raise as much money as possible. Sadly, some of them have lost their life along the way.
FTK!
