Beach Cleanup Event Honoring Local Volunteers

On April 2, Commissioner Abrams attended a beach-cleanup event hosted by the Sand Sifters, a local volunteer-based organization dedicated to keeping our beaches and parks clean.  Abrams presented the Sand Sifters’ volunteers with their annual proclamation declaring May “Sand Sifters Appreciation Month” in Palm Beach County.  Hundreds of volunteers participated in the beach cleanup located at Oceanfront Park on A1A in Ocean Ridge. 

The event featured family-friendly activities such as exotic live animals including turtles and alligators, volleyball and a water balloon toss. 

For the past six years, with over 1,200 volunteers, the Sand Sifters have removed hundreds of tons of litter from 5.5 miles of local beaches, saving hundreds of thousands of tax dollars.
