​Volunteers Needed For Sandy Hook Clean-Up Sept. 8

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ — As the busy summer beach season comes to a close, Party City Inc. and Wounded Nature, a non-profit that focuses on removing debris from hard-to-reach coastal areas, are teaming up to clean the Sandy Hook beach/coastline in Gateway National Park.

Volunteers are encouraged to come down to assist with the clean-up efforts. The goal of the event is to address critical coastal areas that are often neglected or overlooked. Everything from bottles and cans, to discarded plastic items and large pieces of industrial wood that have a negative impact on both the ocean and the beach will be removed throughout the day.

Prizes will be awarded for the most unique items found during the clean-up.

When: Saturday, September 8, 2018 - 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
Where: Gateway National Park, Lot C Hartshorne Dr, Sandy Hook, NJ 07732

THIS IS A RAIN OR SHINE EVENT. Volunteers should bring gloves and wear either an old pair of sneakers or boots; sunscreen and insect repellent may also be needed. Parking and restrooms are available close to the cleanup site.

In addition, Party City HoldCo Inc. will share highlights of the event on Instagram Stories. Fans can follow along by following their Instagram account @PartyCity.
