We need your help to ensure that the 2014 Riverkeeper Sweep, our third annual day of service, for the Hudson River does even more good than last year, when 1,400 volunteers removed 38 tons of shoreline trash and planted 300 trees in more than 70 communities.
If you are interested in organizing a shoreline cleanup or other service project in your community on Saturday, May 10–now is the time to tell us!
Just send an email to sweep@riverkeeper.org with your name, contact information (email address and cell phone), T-shirt size and, service project location (if you know it). We will assist you in every stage of organizing a successful event.
More than 40 of you have signed up to lead cleanups from Staten Island to the City of Albany. Thank you!
The Riverkeeper Sweep is a Waterkeeper Alliance SPLASH Series event, presented nationally by Toyota. SPLASH events engage local communities nationwide in water-based activities and clean water action, and this is the signature event for New York City and the Hudson Valley.
Our 2014 sponsors also include the Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation, JSA Financial, Pleasant Valley Stone and the Green Schools Alliance.
If you are interested in sponsoring the 2014 Riverkeeper Sweep, please contact Dan Shapley at 914-478-4501 x226 or for details.
