We organized 30 river cleanup events across 16 rivers in four states. A total of 3,432 people volunteered with us to remove a staggering 51,106 pounds of trash. We have officially organized 100 river cleanups in the past 2.5 years and removed over 100,000 pounds of trash from rivers and streams. This year we increased the magnitude and impact of our river cleanups with a 70% rise in attendance and a 65% increase in the amount of trash collected at each event. 0 66881 We really amplified our education efforts by executing two new education programs producing a short feature film and naming a National Holiday. All of these efforts are aimed at educating and remind people to protect and restore rivers as they are critical resources. The two education programs included a traveling raft full of trash that we displayed across the front range to raise awareness about the types of trash that end up in and an activity sheet and coloring book to educate kids about simple sustainable practices that impact river health. We established Protect Our Rivers Day thanks to the support of Governor Polis who proclaimed June 22nd as Protect Our Rivers Day. This day is a reminder that everyone has the power to make a difference in protecting rivers for future generations to experience and enjoy. We also supported the production of a short feature film that will be debuting in 2025. 0 21633 This year we got 42 people on their first river day trip. After all when you learn to love something you will actively work to protect it...forever. 0 13050 101564 X Sarah Nelson Executive Director 40 67704 0 0 Scott Coe Chairman of the Board 6 0 0 0 Jess Cuneo Samms Secretary 6 0 0 0 Carter Freericks Officer of the Board 4 0 0 0 Preston Hartman Officer of the Board 2 0 0 0 false false false false false 0 false false false false CO Sarah Nelson 2583 Moore Street Lakewood CO 802151329 3039096510 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 0 0 51436 90341 132985 274762 0 0 780 -2620 1411 -429 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 52216 87721 134396 274333 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 274333 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 52216 87721 134396 274333 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Doing Business As Names Protect Our Rivers Part I, line 16 | Other Expenses:, Amount:| River Health & Watershed Education and Traveling Trash Display, $7182| River Access Program, $3000| River Protection Awareness Initiative - Short Feature Film, $4401| On and Off Water River Cleanup Program Insurance Supplies Resources Permits Trash Removal Logistics, $26681| Bank Fees & Donation Processing Fees, $686| Sales Tax, $76| Stickers, $523| Dues & Subscriptions, $365| Marketing Promotion, $165|
