Friends of Milwaukee's Rivers

You made the 13th Annual Spring River Cleanup our biggest yet: Now we want to thank you!

Thank you for joining us at our 2008 Spring River Cleanup! Over 2,200 volunteers turned out on April 19th to clean the Milwaukee, Menomonee, and Kinnickinnic Rivers. With your help, we cleaned over 35 miles of streams and rivers, removing shopping carts, tires, and countless other types of debris from our river banks.

Please join us to celebrate our success!

Help us celebrate our newly-cleaned rivers by joining us at our Thank You! Celebration on May 14th at Lakefront Brewery, overlooking the Milwaukee River. Each guest will enjoy appetizers, two free drinks, and music by local favorite, Colin O'Brien.
