SO MANY THANK YOUS!

2025 Spring River Cleanup

April 12, 2025

Dear Friends,


Our April 12th Spring Reedy River Cleanup was one of the most special cleanups yet. More about that in a minute; but first, the numbers:


  • Over 220 volunteers registered for the cleanup; and we had another 40 walk-ups who volunteered the day of!
  • We cleaned at 5 sites along the Reedy (one site was so big that we divided it into 3 sub-sites)!
  • We removed nearly 8,100 pounds of trash from the Reedy and its banks, including 132 40-gallon bags of trash and 41 tires.
  • For the first time, our afterparty at Southernside Brewing Co. was also a profit-sharing event -- 15% of the profits from your afterparty purchases went to FoRR!

A nonprofit like FoRR can never have too many friends and allies. We have many, and the number is growing. Whether it's our individual volunteers (without whom we simply could not fulfill our vision), or groups and the companies they represent, or sponsors for events like our twice-yearly cleanups, or business donors who provide funding and freebies, or like-minded collaborators, our community shows up for our little river. We are eternally grateful.


Our Spring Reedy River Cleanup on April 12th really brought this home more than ever before. We had support from a record number of individuals, groups, sponsors, donors, and collaborators. We are indebted to you all. We cherish you all. And we want to publicly thank you all -- a thousand times.

THANK YOU:

ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS!
