Coastal Cleanup Day Contests!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Charge your cameraphones!
As we gear up for Coastal Cleanup Day this Saturday, we have some fun contests and promotions for all our wonderful volunteers. Some of these contests have prizes and some are just for fun. Some are offered by local partners through Heal The Bay, and are only available at one of our 50 cleanup sites. Others are provided by the California Coastal Commission, and are open to volunteers across the state. So, bring your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors! This is quite possibly the most fun you could have in Los Angeles this weekend.
Don’t forget to tag #HealtheBay and @HealtheBay in your Instagram, Twitter and Facebook posts! You could be featured in our Best of CCD Photo Round-up next week!

Two winners will be selected, one from the coastal areas of California and another from the inland areas of California. Each will receive a $100 Visa gift card!
Heal The Bay Cigarette Butt Challenge
Cigarette butts are the most common trash item picked up at Coastal Cleanup Day. Many people throw thier butts out of car windows and into the street where they wash down storm drains to the ocean. This jar contains the average number of cigarette butts picked up in three hours at just ONE cleanup site.
- Go to our Facebook post HERE.
- Comment with your guess about how many butts are in the jar.
Anyone who guesses correctly, as determined by Heal The Bay, will recieve a Heal The Bay t-shirt.
