We thank all the volunteers who participated in the 2013 PRIDE Spring Cleanup.
We are grateful for the leadership shown by the schools, nonprofits, cities and counties that organized cleanup events and recruited volunteers.
We’re especially pleased with the strong showing by the communities that joined the PRIDE service area in 2013: Boyd County, Carter County, Elliott County and Lincoln County. Since this was their first Spring Cleanup, we gave a “Rookie of the Year Award” to the city and county that reported the most volunteers.
Congratulations to all winners of PRIDE Spring Cleanup Awards, which recognize outstanding volunteer recruitment.
