20th Anniversary Fall Beach Sweeps - October 22

     COA is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Beach Sweeps, the longest running cleanup effort of its kind in the nation.  Please join COA and thousands of volunteers at the Fall Beach Sweeps at more than 55 locations (for sites, visit our website), and/or help locate corporate sponsorship in your area.  Sponsorship packages are available and may include a monetary donation, advertising space, or cleanup materials such as work gloves and pencils.  Many local businesses and their employees are unaware of this tremendous effort.  Please call Jennifer at 732-872-0111 to help with sponsor ideas and corporate outreach.
