Volunteer with the CYP CLUB for Kick Butt Columbus 2010! A Highway Ramp Clean-up

Please help give back to the community in which you live, work and play! Join the CYP CLUB, Columbus Mayor Mike Coleman, Keep Columbus Beautiful and several other community partners for a neighborhood highway ramp clean-up on Saturday, March 27th from 8:30am-1:00pm!

All participants will meet at Dodge Park (667 Sullivant Avenue, Columbus, OH 43215) at 8:30am the day of the clean-up, where volunteers will gather to meet, eat, greet, and form their team assignments. LOOK FOR THE CYP CLUB BANNER WHEN YOU ARRIVE TO MEET UP WITH US. After a brief warm up and greeting, teams will travel to their assigned ramp location and conduct their cleanup.

The CYP CLUB has "adopted" three ramp sites to clean up; Interstate 71 Exit 114 (E. North Broadway), Interstate 71 Exit 112 (Hudson St), and Interstate 70 Exit 97 (W Broad St). When you register, you will need to select one of these sites to volunteer with the CYP CLUB.

After the clean-up, all CYP CLUB volunteers are invited to a post-event meet-up to socialize and grab lunch together. Details will be e-mailed to you prior to the day of the event.

All supplies including trash bags, safety vests, pick-up sticks, site maps, liability forms, safety instructions and details on where trash bags will be collected shall be provided by Keep Columbus Beautiful. Volunteers may bring gloves, a leaf rake, and poncho in case of rain.

Mayor Coleman will kick off this event, which will receive local radio, TV and print coverage. Questions may be directed to Sherri Palmer or Robert Seed at (614) 645-2421 or by emailing keepcolumbusbeautiful@columbus.gov
