Each year, over 25,000 beaches in the United States are closed or posted as unhealthy [source: www.surfrider.org]. To remedy this, Barefoot Wine and Surfrider Foundation encourage local residents to volunteer at cleanup and restoration events across the country to help make these beaches “barefoot-friendly.”
In celebration of Surfrider Foundation’s 25th Anniversary, Barefoot Wine and the Surfrider Foundation are rescuing, renewing, and restoring 25 beaches this summer.
The Washington, DC event will be held on Saturday, July 18, at Hains Point at 10 am. There will be a celebration event immediately following the cleanup.
This event is family friendly–bring a picnic and make a day of it! You do not have to be a Surfrider member to participate. Please invite co-workers, sports teams, community groups, and other friends!
Where: Hains Point
When: Saturday, July 18, 10 am to 1 pm
