South Platte River Community Cleanup
We are absolutely thrilled to be one of Jack Johnson's nonprofit partners for his 2026 Surfilmusic Tour! We're celebrating his music, and love for waterways with a special river cleanup ahead of his second Denver concert on September 3rd.
Join us along the South Platte River for an impactful morning of giving back to the waterways that connect all of us. Our Colorado waters reach the Gulf of Mexico in as little as three weeks. So the good we do here really does flow forward! In addition to making an immediate impact, volunteers will have the chance to win great prizes, including tickets to see Jack Johnson at Fiddler’s Green the evening of the cleanup!
RSVP to reserve a spot. Additional details are below.
