Details for the Day

Please keep a few things in mind throughout your clean up on Saturday:

• Safety First! Please wear close-toed shoes or boots, pants, work gloves if you have them, apply sunscreen, and don't overdo it—you should never overexert yourself on Clean the Bay Day. This should be fun!
• This is a rain or shine event. Only a thunderstorm will cancel the event. And please note that litter moves with the rain—so even a little rain can make for a productive — and fun — clean up!
• Bring water in a reusable container and perhaps a snack to keep your energy up.
• Please make sure all children who are NOT accompanied by a parent bring a signed Parental Permission Form. Click here to download the Parental Permission Form.
• Please double check the time and date of your clean-up. Most, but not all, Clean the Bay Day Clean-ups occur on Saturday, June 4, 9 a.m.-noon.
• Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early to the event for sign-in.
• We love photos! See the note on the photo contest above.
• If you have not heard from your area coordinator yet, please double check your e-mails/spam filters. Feel free to e-mail us for help at ctbd@cbf.org.

And, of course . . . have fun!

Again, thank you so much for your involvement with Clean the Bay Day. You are what makes this program a resounding success 28 years and counting. We look forward to seeing you Saturday!
