Activity Sponsors:
Would your organization like to be involved in helping to educate our kids on environmental issues? You can be an Activity Sponsor! We plan to have around 20 Tents with interactive and educational experiences, and you are welcome to also share information about what your group does year-round. We will cover different topics like reducing, reusing and recycling, composting, and watershed protection. There will be interactive things to do like participating in a community Art Project using recycled trash, butterfly and honey bee learning experiences, a seed planting activity, children’s crafts and games and even decorating your own earth cookie! This is a chance for local groups or individuals who are passionate about our environment year-round would love to tell you about what you can do to have a positive impact from this day forward. Below is the Activity Booth Expectations file.

Event Sponsors:
CLEAN CATOOSA is a county-wide effort! The idea for this event came out of a couple years of separate efforts by The City of Ringgold partnering with the new non-profit, LIFT, Catoosa County Parks and Recreation and The City of Fort Oglethorpe. Now working together, alongside new partners, like TenneSEA, Wild Trails, Our House Studios and Lionhearts Fitness, these groups have all come together to put new energy into an event that is sure to have a bigger impact than ever before. WE NEED MORE PARTNERS to help cover the costs of the event - t-shirts and banners, etc. A $300 tax-deductable donation will make you an Event Sponsor and we will be honored to put your logo on the back of our t-shirts.
