With Earth Day right around the corner, what better time to recycle those cans sitting in your garage? ♻️

Turn them into something bigger... scholarships for local students! 🎓

Just drop your cans at Can Kings and support Fairport-Perinton Dollars for Scholars.

And as you gear up for Memorial Day BBQs, grad parties, and summer get-togethers… keep us in mind. Every can counts.

In case you missed it… our first-ever Meat Raffle was a huge success! 🥩

Thanks to the incredible support of our community, the event will help fund four scholarships for Fairport High School’s Class of 2026 🎓

We’re so grateful to everyone who attended, volunteered, donated raffle baskets, and helped make the night such a success — including the VFW Post 8495 for hosting us.

It was a fun night filled with great food, community spirit, and support for a meaningful cause: helping local students take the next step in their education.
