From 911day.org, "Thanks to the support of many others in the 9/11 community, 9/11 Day has transformed September 11 into the largest day of service in America, officially recognized under federal law.
More than 30 million Americans and others participated, dedicating time each 9/11 to helping others in need and rekindling the spirit of unity that brought Americans together in the days following the 9/11 tragedy."
Litter is an ongoing challenge in our community. On Saturday, September 9th, we are asking for volunteers to help clean up our campus and surrounding neighborhoods to show the community that we are unified in our efforts to make Rock Hill and Winthrop University welcoming. This litter clean-up is open to STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND STAFF. Below are important details about the event.
- All supplies (gloves, bags, trash grabbers, vests) will be provided.
- All volunteers must complete the attached assumption of risk form.
- All volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes.
- Volunteers should dress appropriately for the weather conditions and plan to bring water or a sports drink to stay hydrated during the clean-up.
- For safety reasons, no one will be allowed to pick up litter alone – all volunteers will be grouped with at least one other person.
- Volunteers should plan to arrive by 8:50 a.m.
- Contact us if you have any questions.
The required Assumption of Risk form is attached.
