At Catawba Riverkeeper, we're committed to protecting our natural waterway resources that make up the Catawba River Basin.

Earlier this year, we are announced that we will be removing 100,000 pounds of trash out of our lakes, streams and tributaries. So far this year, staff, corporate partner groups and volunteers have removed about 25,000 pounds of trash from our waterways!

But we are in need of more community support this Summer to help us reach our goal. That's why we're launching the Cleanup Champion Challenge - and we’re inviting you to join us!

By becoming a Cleanup Champion, you will be doubling your impact for your local waterways by raising funds that support mission-critical work while removing trash from either your neighborhood or a local spot that is meaningful to you. EX: Your favorite nature trail, while paddling your favorite lake or section of the Catawba River, a playground that you and your family love.

How it Works: For every $10 donated to your page, you will pledge to pick up one bag of trash during the month of June. Raise $100, that’s 10 bags of trash!

Special prizes will also be awarded at the beginning of July to the winners in three categories:

Trash Collector Champion (Must be full bags of trash. Email kaity.d@catawbariverkeeper.org with a clear photo of your trash to qualify).
Fundraiser Champion (highest number of contributions to their personal fundraising page).
Social Media Storyteller Champion (be sure to tag us on Facebook and Instagram, so we can see your story!)

Starting a fundraiser page is easy to do, and it's fun. We'll even give you all the tools you'll need to make a difference. With your help, we can ensure clean and plentiful water for all for generations to come!

Have a question? Email Director of Development, Jenny Moore at jenny.m@catawbariverkeeper.org.

Thank you for joining us this June by becoming a Cleanup Champion. With your help, we can ensure clean and plentiful water for all 4 million people who rely on the Catawba River Basin for generations to come.
