GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

April

Chesapeake Bay Foundation

Earth Day is Wednesday, April 22, 2020. As a show of support in protecting our environment for future generations, our community service project for the April 9, 2020 meeting is a drive for Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF). The Chesapeake Bay Foundation was founded in 1967 and is the largest independent conservation organization dedicated solely to saving the Bay.  The Chesapeake Bay Foundation fights for effective, science-based solutions to the pollution degrading the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers and streams.  Their motto, "Save the Bay," is a regional rallying cry for pollution reduction throughout the Chesapeake Bay's six-state, 64,000-square-mile watershed, which is home to more than 18 million people and 3,000 species of plants and animals.  For more than 50 years, CBF has continued to engage in education, advocacy, litigation and restoration efforts to turn the tide and leave a legacy of clean water for future generations.

Please join us in contributing to this worthy cause via online donations on the Hampton Roads Chapter of the American Payroll Association CBF fundraising page through which you can submit donations: https://secure.cbf.org/site/TR/DIY/General?px=2338852&pg=personal&fr_id=1100

We would also like to encourage our members to give their time and participate in the 32nd Annual Clean the Bay Day, scheduled for Saturday, June 6, 2020.  Online registration opens March 15th.  For more information, visit: https://www.cbf.org/events/clean-the-bay-day/
