Thank You Thursday – 8.15.13

Whether it’s good beer or good beaches, you’ve got to have clean water.

We’d like to thank the good people at 213 Nightlife (especially principals Cedd Moses and Alan Verge) for helping us keep our local waters clean by making Heal the Bay the beneficiary of their well-run 4th annual L.A. Craft Beer Crawl last weekend.

While the beer crawl was happening in the “213,” in the “310,” Golden Bridge Yoga was celebrating its new Santa Monica location, with proceeds from the day of yoga and music going to HtB and Childrens Hospital. Thank you to Golden Bridge!

We are also grateful to employees from Northrop Grumman, who cleaned Dockweiler Beach on August 10 (pictured). More than 100 volunteers removed 157.5 pounds of trash and collected almost 3500 cigarette butts (which they plan to recycle via Terracycle.) The winning debris removal teams were: Trash Busters, Trash Patrol and Help’n Hornets.

You can also make a big difference by picking up trash on Coastal Cleanup Day, Sept. 21, 2013. Gather your friends, teammates, scout troops, students and family for a cleanup close to you. You can find a site conveniently located for everyone at healthebay.org/ccd.
