San Diego Gulls Partner with I Love A Clean San Diego for the 36th Annual Coastal Cleanup Day Sept. 26

Gulls to participate in California’s largest volunteer event of the year

Sep 25, 2020

The San Diego Gulls announced today the club partnered with I Love A Clean San Diego as a Community Champion to take part in the 36th annual Coastal Cleanup Day, hosted virtually on Saturday, Sept. 26 from 8-11 a.m. Coastal Cleanup Day is the largest volunteer event in San Diego County and California. 

Coastal Cleanup Day is part of the global cleanup effort of removing polluting litter and debris from local community beaches and waterways. Gulls fans are encouraged to join the hockey club’s mascot, Gulliver, to protect the health of our community, environment, beaches and waterways by staying close to home and cleaning collection spots for trash. 

Coastal Cleanup Day is California’s most anticipated and high-profile volunteer event. In 2019, over 74,000 participants gathered at more than 1,000 sites and removed trash and recycling. It is popular for good reason: California’s beaches and inland waterways are collection spots for trash. The cleanup offers a way for volunteers to respond to the threat of trash in our environment by removing trash before the winter rains arrive and wash it out to the ocean, where it harms marine life and our shared ecosystem.

All participants who post a photo and tag the Gulls Twitter or Instagram accounts (@SDGullsAHL) while participating in the cleanup will be automatically entered to win a Gulls prize pack, including a 2019-20 team-signed jersey. Photo submissions must be posted by 12 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26.
