PalmettoPride brings you a new program for High Schools called Litter Free Games.
We all enjoy sporting events, but more often
than not litter is left behind in the stands and near concession stands long
after the fans go home. Litter-free games give students an opportunity
to learn valuable environmental lessons, leaders...hip skills and management
skills. Litter-free games will cut down on the time it
takes custodial staff and groundskeepers to clean up after fans have left. Litter-free games create an inviting
environment for friends, families and visitors to your school sporting events.
For more information, contact PalmettoPride or visit our website.Read More
