A Special Raffle for a Great Cause
One of the highlights of the Spring Green Bash is the charity raffle. This year, you could win a Liquidlogic Saluda 12 kayak, valued at over $1,000. Not only do you get a chance to win a premium recreational kayak, but all proceeds from the raffle will support the important environmental work of the Green Riverkeeper, an advocate for the health and beauty of the Green River Watershed.
Get Involved Before the Bash
For those who want to make a day of it, join Green Riverkeeper Erica Shanks and Shane Benedict, Co-founder of Liquidlogic, for a river cleanup. This pre-event cleanup is a great way to contribute to the health of the Green River while enjoying the great outdoors. It runs from 10 AM to 3 PM, and all levels of paddlers, as well as roadside volunteers, are welcome.
Why This Event Matters
According to Erica Shanks, the Green Riverkeeper, “It’s always a blast and a great time for folks to get outside, celebrate the Green River and our awesome community.” Tim Bell, owner of Green River Adventures, adds, “We’re thankful for all of the work the Green Riverkeeper does to keep the Green River Watershed beautiful for all of the people and businesses that enjoy it.”
