Join Tenafly Nature Center, Tenafly Environmental Commission, Tenafly\u2019s Green Team, and Tenafly High School\u2019s Green Team to lend a hand for a good cause! The trash-a-thon is an annual event that brings community members of all ages together to clean up garbage and litter found around local streets, parks, and the nature center.<\/p>\n
Anyone can volunteer to pick up trash, either as an individual or as a family team.<\/p>\n
Meet at Huyler Park for assignments and supplies (walk-up registration accepted)<\/p>\n
If a person cannot volunteer but wants to support this event they are welcome to sponsor the event.<\/p>\n
Similar to a walk-a-thon, where you raise money from sponsors for each mile walked, a trash-a-thon is a way of raising donations for the number of garbage bags filled while you spend a few hours cleaning up the community. Leading up to the day of the cleanup, volunteers are encouraged to collect pledges (donations) from their network. A suggested pledge could range from $5 \u2013 $10 per bag of garbage.<\/p>\n
All funds raised from Trash-a-thon will be used to support Tenafly Nature Center<\/p>\n
How To Sign Up:<\/p>\n
Register: Click the Register button to sign up as a volunteer or sponsor. You may sign up just yourself or your family “team”.<\/p>\n
Collect Pledges: Contact your family, friends, co-workers, community, etc. and ask if they’d like to make a donation. Ask those willing to support your effort to visit here (https:\/\/tncnj.org\/event-6473947) to make their pledge\/donation. If pledgers would prefer to donate via cash or check, TNC encourages checks to be made out to the sponsored volunteer, and the volunteer makes a donation through this event on the pledger\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n
If you are not comfortable using the website, please call the TNC office at 201-568-6093 and they will gladly assist you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
