At our Riversweep After-Party, we were glad to be able to offer a Free T-Shirt giveaway for our wonderful volunteers! We used Sticker Mule's new "Give" page, which was straightforward and easy to use. All we had to do was upload our shirt design, choose a shirt color, set the timeframe for the giveaway, and then Sticker Mule did the rest. They generated the link to register, collected entries, drew the winners, and mailed the t-shirts out. For a small non-profit, it’s so convenient to have fewer details and logistics to manage while still having a fun way to engage with our community and thank them for donating their time to support our mission! Thank you, Sticker Mule, for creating a great tool for organizations like ours to use, and for inviting us to participate in the program trial!

Working Together for a Healthier River
Thank you to our 2025 Catawba Riversweep volunteers!

In a time when the news often feels so overwhelming, days like Riversweep give us so much hope.
On October 4th, over 1,000 children and adults, folks of all backgrounds, worked together at 53 cleanup sites across the Carolinas to pull pollution out of our lakes, rivers, and streams.
We are excited to share that, thanks to the help of all of these volunteers, 57,115 pounds of trash are no longer threatening vital aquatic habitats, no longer posing safety hazards to river recreators, and no longer leeching toxins into the water source that millions of Carolinians drink from every single day.
It's amazing what is possible when many hands work together! Thank you to everyone who gave their time and energy to The Catawba Riversweep and helped make our part of the planet a better place.
If we can do this much in one day, imagine what we can do in one year! Catawba Riverkeeper and its members are the voice of the river. We work 365 days a year to speak up for the preservation, protection, and restoration of our vital water resources. As a non-profit organization, we depend on the generous support of donors to help make mission-critical programs and initiatives like The Catawba Riversweep possible.
