Members walked, worked the information tent, handed out water and generously donated funds in support of this important cause, which has affected many woman’s club members personally. All money raised by the club and the Little Women of Lutz were donated to the American Cancer Society.

Keep Pasco Beautiful collects 31 tons of trash
PASCO COUNTY – More than 1,360 volunteers took part in the annual Keep Pasco Beautiful cleanup event in September, collecting over 31 tons of trash along roadways, public spaces, and waterways.
The event saw 1,363 volunteers log 4,787 volunteer hours to pick up 62,000 lbs. of trash in 59 locations in Pasco County.
“It’s estimated that 80% of the trash in our waters originates from land,” Keep Pasco Beautiful Coordinator Ligia Buchala said. “Thirty-one tons is the most we’ve ever collected, and by doing this we’re stopping trash from moving through rivers and stormwater systems into the Gulf of Mexico – which is truly impactful!”
The event is part of the International Coastal Cleanup coordinated by Ocean Conservancy.
