alternative daze (5/23/2021) presented by clinik productions

We were happy to support Alternative Daze, a dreamy indie-rock virtual concert featuring Orange Dream, Spike Sunshine, and Sage Ray.

Thank you so much to Clinik Productions for thinking of us as this event’s donee organization.

earth day 2021 cleanup

We capped off the weekend celebrating Earth Day with a trash cleanup at Loch Raven Reservoir.

Loch Raven Reservoir is the base of our drinking water. The watershed eventually pours into the Chesapeake Bay. We try to collect as much trash as we can before it makes it there.

future earth

In partnership with Trap N Chill, we presented a Future Earth virtual music festival to raise awareness on Earth Day weekend. Presented with Above & Below, Artist Republik, and Sweet Sounds Collective, we featured over 20 of the hottest rising artists of 2021, such as Snavs, PLS&TY, Shizz Lo, and THRPY.

We collectively raised over $1K for underground artists, with a portion directed towards Greenpeace USA.

VIRTUAL FUTURE

We were more than grateful to team up with Trap N Chill to present a Virtual Future. This was our biggest festival yet, filled with like-minded artists who have pushed the electronic sounds of future bass and trap music.

We raised over $1K in donations that went directly to the artists, with a portion directed towards our cleanup efforts.

isolated cleanups w/ wawc

During these hard times with COVID-19, remember that it’s OK (and healthy) to go outside. That’s why we encourage bringing a bag, gloves, and a mask on your next walk to see how much trash you can grab!
Thanks for joining us in cleaning up the planet and tag us with the hashtag #IsolatedCleanup to bring us together and see how much trash we can grab during this time!

Delmarva ESA Surf Contest

We had an amazing time attending the surf contest and supporting the Ocean City, Maryland Surfrider Chapter. We helped spread the word about reducing single-use plastic as the Surfrider Chapter gave out free water and gatorade to refill. The goal was to bring a reusable bottle in order to stop the abundance of single-use plastic on the beach. We were also there to support all of the surfers who came out to spread love for our oceans!
