Thanks for a successful 2011 Philly Spring Cleanup!
Thanks to all of our volunteers, project coordinators and sponsors for helping to make the 4th Annual Philly Spring Cleanup a success.
Keep American Beautiful and Keep Philadelphia Beautiful were great supporters this year, along with the rest of our sponsors, which included Dow, Target and Waste Management as lead sponsors. We'd like to extend a big thank you to Dow for donating 1,000 gallons of paint to help cover up graffiti and repaint communities this year.
