Afterward, patrons will help beautify Baltimore and clean up. It’s important to care for our local community, environment, and ecosystems. So, come raise awareness for litter pollution. Oh, and did we mention that there’s a happy hour afterward?
No ticket purchase is necessary. Instead, it is strongly encouraged that all participants donate $10-$20. These donations will go towards environmental activism and the movement's efforts. Bee the change.
