Did you know that the Great Lakes are the biggest freshwater source in the world? Lake Erie is the most productive for fishing of all the Great Lakes. Your support helps make our streams clean, clear and healthy so they can support this complex ecosystem. By donating to PCS, you help us reach our goals of restoring rivers that lead to Lake Erie beaches that promote fishable and swimmable conditions for generations. |
For the fourth year, PCS will be the “Green Team” at the Mercy Health Glass City Marathon in April. We are responsible for helping make the marathon as sustainable as possible through reducing supply waste and diverting thousands of pounds of recyclable materials from a lifetime in a landfill. Last year, the Green Team recycled almost 3,000 pounds of cardboard, glass, aluminum, plastic, heat sheets, Gu packs, and more! We are looking for volunteers to help us in our Green Team efforts. We have three shifts to fill:
Volunteers will be working in the Glass Bowl Stadium and Lot 10, encouraging recycling during the post-race party. All volunteers will receive a free Glass City Marathon t-shirt. If you are interested in doing something positive for the planet during Earth Month, the “Green Team” is a great opportunity for you to make a tangible difference. You can sign up through Glass City Marathon’s volunteer website and search for “Green Team.” Or contact PCS and we will be happy to register you or your group. If you can’t make it to the marathon, please consider supporting us as a charity partner through a donation. At PCS, we promote healthy runners and healthy rivers!
Sip some suds with us to support our streams! Our friends at Earnest Brew Works are hosting a fundraiser for PCS to support our stream cleanup programs. On Tuesday, April 23rd, from 5-9pm, Earnest Brew Works will donate $1 per pint on selected beers towards PCS programs. We will be auctioning off a fun sign to the highest bidder and doing a 50/50 raffle. More details to come so watch our social media! There will be a food truck, fellowship, and the finest drinks in town, so show the planet and your taste buds some love and come out to Earnest Brew Works on Tuesday 4/23!
Our water quality programs would not be possible without the dedication of our volunteers. April 7th-13th is National Volunteer Week, when we celebrate all the volunteers who helped us improve our local environment throughout the year. Our Storm Drain Marking, CYS 365, Get the Lead Outs, Glass City Marathon Green Team, Fishing Line Recycling Bins, and of course, Clean Your Streams Day programs are only successful because of volunteers like you! In 2018, we had 1,584 individuals who came out to take care of our streams. We are inspired by how many people care about the health of our waterways. If you want to support our streams, there are several upcoming opportunities for you to volunteer.
Earth Day is officially on Monday, April 22nd this year, but you can celebrate all month long! PCS is excited to be attending several outreach events this month where we can share what we do and why we do it. April is the perfect month to do something positive for the planet. There are many ways to engage with local environmental programs and enjoy eco-friendly festivities! Our partners are putting on wonderful programs throughout Northwest Ohio and here are just a few:
Be sure to check out our calendar and follow us on social media to see what we’re up to during Earth Month!
If you can’t come out to any of our volunteer opportunities this month, consider making an impact in a different way. You can feel good about going green by giving green. We rely on donations and sponsorships to continue to make an impact on our streams, rivers, and Lake Erie. Your support allows us to purchase cleanup supplies, grow our programs, and expand our efforts in our area. You can donate directly to PCS with a credit card through our secure PayPal account or by writing a check. Help us do more for the waterways this Spring by supporting our programs and our planet!
