Hey everyone! What's better than a Beach Clean Up? Five of them in five weeks, that's what! Join me and Project3R for any or all of these events to help make a difference in our environment. Our goal is to pick up 1000 lbs of trash at these events and I could use everyone's help.

I want to give a huge thank you to our event sponsors who help us make these events possible. STRUT CARES The KYA Group Athens Services Anaheim Ducks Foundation Rainbow Sandals Mares Foundation Teen Vibes Magazine POLYWOOD Sun Bum Plantlife and of course Senator Janet Nguyen and Senator Catherine Blakespear for working with me to make a difference in their districts.

Last week was our first clean up event in Los Angeles and it was a success. We'll definitely be going back to that beach again. On the 4th, we're looking forward to another clean up in Huntington Beach followed up with San Clemente on the 11th. On the 18th, we're taking the clean up South of the border to Ensenada to partner with the Mares Foundation and then wrapping up on the 25th at a City Park in Oceanside. Hope to see you all there!
