280 pounds of trash. One beautiful island. One unforgettable day.
This morning started cloudy and wet, but by the time the sun broke through, we knew we were in for something special.
Josh and I joined volunteers at The Keys for the 4th Annual ErieSponsible Island Beach Cleanup—and what a turnout. Crews from The Keys, The Boardwalk, Hooligans, and the entire BFOR Family of Restaurants showed up ready to work.
Thanks to Tito's Handmade Vodka, we had ponchos for the drizzle, cold drinks for the cleanup, and even a raffle with a cooler full of goodies. But the real highlight? Tito's presented ErieSponsible with a $2,500 donation to keep this mission going strong.
We hit South Bass Island State Park Beach, Scheeff East Point Nature Preserve, Key and Boardwalk Beach, and Perry Monument Shore—pulling 280 lbs of trash off our shores. Then we celebrated with great food from The Keys Kitchen and cocktails courtesy of Tito's.
Thank you to every single volunteer, sponsor, and business that made today happen. This is what community looks like. 🌊🧹
