The 2013 Great American CleanUp Sat. April 27th

[clearboth]

Litter, graffiti, unkempt streets, roads, blocks and parks are far more than just unsightly, these are symptoms of uncaring behavior and a wake-up call for citizens who are concerned about their community’s quality of life. Keep Sarasota County Beautiful needs your help in answering that call!  This spring, you can make a visible difference in Sarasota County by joining us for the Great American Cleanup™!

Established by Keep America Beautiful, Inc., the nation’s premier litter prevention and education organization, in partnership with state and local affiliates such as ours, the Great American Cleanup™ is our country’s largest annual cleanup, beautification and community improvement program. Each year, millions of volunteers in over 15,000 communities across the country take part in this program. This program provides a high-profile platform for activities that meet specific local needs, including recycling litter cleanups, litter prevention education, recycling drives, graffiti removal, beautification and community improvement projects, park renewals, clothes collection programs, river, lake and seashore cleanups, etc.

This year, more than two million volunteers are expected to participate in the Great American Cleanup™ nationwide.  Keep Sarasota County Beautiful is seeking hundreds of local volunteers for our Great American Cleanup™ activities, which will run from 8 a.m.  – noon on Saturday, April 27.
