Palo Alto Networks MLK Beach Cleanup
Join a group of your colleagues for a fun and educational beach cleanup hosted by VolunteerCleanup.org, in honor of MLK Day of Service.
We’ll help protect our marine environment by removing plastic marine debris while collecting important citizen science data, and compete for the chance to win prizes for whoever finds the strangest thing!
VolunteerCleaunp.org will provide all of the supplies for the cleanup (gloves, bags, pickers, buckets, sunscreen, insect repellent, hand-sani)
COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS PROVIDED!
We’ll be meeting at Pelican Pavilion, which you can access from Parking Lot #5
