And through your kind donations (for grabbing attempts) We Love Clean Rivers raised $171, with another amount TBD donated by Oregon City Brewing ($1 for each pint purchased that evening – it was crowded and people looked thirsty!). Thank you all!

It was great to see familiar and new faces for this little event. All proceeds go to river cleanups, stewardship education and sustainable recreation advocacy (We Love Clean Rivers, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit based in sunny Portland, Oregon). And none of it can happen without stalwart volunteers, sponsors, donors, supporters, and other friends of clean rivers. 

Trash Grabber Game/MINI Raffle

Over two dozen intrepid individuals tried their hand at the Trash Grabber Game. The playing field was a canoe partially full of water and filled with rocks, driftwood, and other symbolic trash. Each donated dollar gave you a shot a grabbing a rock with a 1, 2, 3,5, or 8 marked on the bottom (or if you were unlucky, a blank rock, a type which one of the kids named ‘dud’). Then you got whatever the sum of rock numbers in raffle tickets. Way to go to the parents who sent their kids into many rounds of rock grabbing!
