Sponsors - 2012

Cargill

Ducks Unlimited - Wichita Chapter

City of Wichita

American Rivers - National River Cleanup

This year the RTRU is sponsored by Cargill with assistance from the Ducks Unlimited - Kansas Chapter, American Rivers and the City of Wichita. Cargill will be providing participants with an event t-shirt and is inviting all the volunteers to a post-cleanup cookout back at the check-in station.

The event is registered with American Rivers as part of the “National River Cleanup” initiative.  The National River Cleanup is providing the bags for the event.

Groups of volunteers – such as those associated with a business, school or university, club, church or scout group – may  want to “adopt” one of clean-up sites for the event.  If a group adopts a site, that group’s participants will all start in that location. 

The locations are (beginning in the north):

• The Sim Park Red Bridge
• Exploration Place
• 1^st and Waco
• Gander Mountain
• Lincoln Street bridge
• Harry Street bridge
• Pawnee Street bridge
• Herman Hill Park
