Did you know that the Great Lakes are the biggest freshwater source in the world? Lake Erie is the most productive for fishing of all the Great Lakes. Your support helps make our streams clean, clear and healthy so they can support this complex ecosystem. By donating to PCS, you help us reach our goals of restoring rivers that lead to Lake Erie beaches that promote fishable and swimmable conditions for generations.

zooteenscys16Are you up for the challenge? Our rivers need your support! Check out the new and improved Clean Your Streams Firstgiving page and start showing your support! Set up your own fundraising page to tell your river story then share it with your friends and family and others throughout the area. Tell them why and how you care for clean, healthy rivers. Then ask them to support rivers by donating on your Firstgiving page. Firstgiving.com is a user friendly website created to help groups or nonprofits that need donation to achieve their mission. This fits perfectly because PCS is devoted to improving our precious waterways and could use that extra financial boost, especially with Clean Your Streams Day. With our Firstgiving page, you can easily create a fundraising page and provide a safe, efficient way for anyone to donate on behalf of clean water.

This is also a great tool for your group, especially if you are already planning to participate as a team – encourage team building and excitement with a team page and perhaps your business will even match the donations. If you need help, just ask. Our staff is happy to set up your unique team page to get you started.

To support clean rivers with the 17th Annual Clean Your Streams Day, just go to the Firstgiving page

Several PCS staff members have already established their own fundraising pages. For inspiration (or to donate!) check out Lindsey's CYS page . But fundraising is not limited to PCS staff. Anyone who loves their streams can create their own fundraising page and make a difference in our community. There is no limit to how much you can do for your local rivers. Fundraise as a team, a group of employees, church groups or on your own. The most successful fundraiser will be announced at the Clean Your Streams Appreciation Picnic on September 21st. Join the flow and your support for clean rivers!
