BIG SWEEP Golf Tounament Thurs., April 24th

from Sheila Jones:

Hello Big Sweep Zone Captains and Community Partners!
(Please forward to your volunteers, family, friends and colleagues who may
be interested!)

In 2013, North Carolina Big Sweep provided gloves and trash bags to 17,628
volunteers who removed 376,427 pounds of litter from the mountains to the
coast.

Now it’s time to raise funds to buy another 17,000 pairs of gloves to keep
volunteers safe and more trash bags to contain tons of debris! Anyone who
volunteers for Wake County Big Sweep has been the beneficiary of these much
needed cleanup supplies!

Next week on Thursday, April 24th, North Carolina Big Sweep is hosting
their 7th Annual Golf Tournament at River Ridge Golf Club in Raleigh.

If you know anyone who LOVES GOLF and HATES LITTER…please let them know
about this event!

An individual golfer can play for $150 and buy a Mulligans Package for $25
