EVENT DETAILS: A Prize for the Strangest Item of Garbage
Last year over 100
volunteers from the surrounding beach communities and others from all over Los
Angeles County cleaned up over 200 pounds of garbage in Manhattan Beach, including
some strange and random items.
There will be a prize
for whoever collects the most and another for the strangest single item
retrieved. Volunteers will be treated to food and drinks in the morning and/or
lunch after the cleanup. As always, there will be pick-up games, free fitness
training sessions and giveaways for our participants.
We will also host a
simultaneous beach clean-up event to celebrate Earth Day in Venice Beach. For
more details, please contact us below or please visit our website.
This
event will take place on April 22nd 2012, from 10-2 pm, rain or
shine. Volunteers should meet near the bike path on the beach adjacent to E
Ocean Blvd and Alamitos Ave in Long Beach, CA 90802
