Pay me cash to pick up trash!

Help keep our waterways clean. For every $10 you donate, I'll collect 1 bag of trash.

$260 towards $500

Help me preserve and protect the drinking water resource in my region, the Catawba River.

For every $10 donated to my page, I will pick up 1 bag of trash!

Did you know every piece of trash left on the ground runs the risk of entering our water resources? John Searby, Executive Director of Catawba Riverkeeper, taught me this lesson.

"If you drop a plastic bottle in Charlotte, anywhere in Charlotte, in a parking lot at a Circle K in Charlotte, it will be in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and in the ocean in about 14 days," he said. "I hear people all the time in Charlotte talk about that ocean plastic like it’s not their problem. Well, it kind of is. If you aren’t picking up plastic bottles that you see when you’re walking down the street, then you’re missing an opportunity to keep plastics out of our river and out of the ocean."

Your gift today will help ensure clean and plentiful water in the Carolinas and beyond for generations to come, and I'm ready to put your money to work.

Every donation matters. Thank you for your support!
