Trash Dash

The Perfect Blend of Conservation and Competition

WAVE Foundation is hosting the First Annual Trash Dash on July 18 in Newport, KY, in partnership with Wooden Cask.

If you’re looking for a way to support a local nonprofit while taking conservation action in your community, this fundraiser is for you! Participants will be given just 90 minutes to see how much trash they can pick up all around Newport.

All proceeds go directly to supporting WAVE’s mission of inspiring and fostering environmental stewards in our community and the world.
