Booz Allen Hamilton Supports Ocean Conservancy's 25th Annual International Coastal Cleanup

Booz Allen Hamilton's employees are passionate about making a difference in communities across the nation. At Booz Allen our approach to corporate philanthropy is simple—directing our resources to the organizations and causes that our employees care about. This employee-centered approach to giving back is a distinguishing feature of Booz Allen's community leadership.

For the 2010 International Coastal Cleanup (ICC), Booz Allen is partnering with Ocean Conservancy as a Living Waters Sponsor and providing employees with volunteer opportunities at waterway cleanup events being held at rivers, lakes, streams, and beaches throughout the nation on September 25, 2010.

The International Coastal Cleanup is the world's largest volunteer effort of its kind for the ocean.

Washington, DC, area employees: There are two main cleanup sites in our area on September 25th — Barcroft Park on Four Mile Run beginning at 10 AM, and Daingerfield Island on George Washington Parkway beginning at 9 AM. Register at one of those sites, or you are welcome to choose another location in the area.

Why Should I Volunteer?

This event is ideal for employees looking for an opportunity to make a difference in their communities and to the environment by working alongside colleagues, family members, friends, and clients to pick up and document marine debris. Every year in September, more than half-a-million people in 100 countries remove millions of pounds of trash from beaches and waterways all over the world — and collect data on what they find. You, too, can make a difference. Get Involved. Create Impact.
