71 organizations participated in the BIG Sweep in 2009!

"Over 1,100 volunteers representing 71 community organizations raised over $54,000 for their respective causes for the 8th annual BIG Sweep! On April 25, volunteers cleaned Frederick County and City roadways, parks and watersheds and picked up 15.32 tons of trash and recyclable items and 387 tires. The three organizations turning in the most funds by the deadline were Small Angels Rescue raising $4,230, Frederick Area Swim Team raising $3,474, and the Brunswick Food Bank raising $2, 973.

The BIG Sweep has doubled in size and impact since it first was launched with 500 volunteers in 2002. In the course of the last seven years, the event has mobilized over 6,100 volunteers who have cleaned up more than 130 tons of trash and recyclables, as well as 3, 587 tires. Donors who sponsored the volunteers’ clean-up efforts have collectively contributed approximately $331,000 to dozens of local community organizations. Thanks to all who helped to make this event a success, from the volunteers to our great sponsors! Congratulations and we will see you next year! "
