As part of the LA Galaxy Protect the Pitch sustainability program, over 250 LA Galaxy fans, supporters and Herbalife24 Triathlon L.A. participants traveled to Venice Beach to partake in a beach cleanup with Surfrider Foundation on Saturday, June 22. Founded in 1984, Surfrider Foundation is a global nonprofit organization whose mission is to protect and enjoy the world’s oceans and beaches. LA Galaxy volunteers spent a beautiful sunny day on the beach collecting over 157 pounds of trash, 32.5 pounds of recycling and more than 4,000 cigarette buds.
After volunteering, Arbor Venice hosted volunteers for a post-cleanup social hour featuring cold beverages by Three Weavers and raffle prizes by Arbor Collective.
