Registration
for the Brightside
& Passport Health Plan Spring Community-Wide Cleanup is
open!!
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER YOUR TEAM!
The
cleanup will take place on Saturday, April 14th with the suggested cleanup
times of 8:00am – 12:00pm. (If the date we have set doesn't work for your
group, that's OK, we will support any cleanup that takes place in the weeks
surrounding April 14th.)
All
cleanup teams will receive bags and gloves at no cost, and the first 5,000
volunteers to register will also receive a free t-shirt. Brightside welcomes
groups of all sizes, big and small and if you're not sure where you would
like to hold your cleanup we can help with that too, just give us a call or
send us an email and we will be happy to make a suggestion.
Supply
pick up will be held on Sunday, April 8th at the Iroquois Park Amphitheater,
1080 Amphitheater Rd, 40214 from 2:00 pm until 5:00 pm.
All
supplies are pre-packaged by group for team leaders to collect. If a group
fails to pick up their supplies on April 8, and they have t-shirts, the
t-shirts go to other volunteers on a first come, first served basis. Groups
who do not have t-shirts can call Brightside on Tuesday, April 10th to see if
any t-shirts have been returned.
Brightside
is proud to be holding our Cleanup with the Give A Day - Mayor's Week of
Service for the fifth year. Cleanups are an integral part of
Brightside's mission and without the help of your volunteer group, and many
other volunteers throughout the year, we could not achieve our goals of a
cleaner, greener and more sustainable Louisville.
We
look forward to seeing all of you in April!
