Follow on Google News | Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful Announces Cancellation of 2020 Governor's Environmental AddressCOVID-19 Forces Eco-Focused Nonprofit to Forego Its 40th Anniversary Celebration, Annual Awards Presentation and Sole Fundraiser for the Year
By: Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful "In addition to our desire to ensure the health and well-being of Governor Kemp and all our wonderful sponsors and supporters, we couldn't stomach the concept of asking for sponsorships and selling tickets when so many local businesses and individuals have been hard-hit by the global pandemic," said Schelly Marlatt, Executive Director of Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful. "The Gwinnett County community has been rallying around us and showing its support for our mission of connecting people and resources for a sustainable Gwinnett for four incredible decades. This is our way of showing our support in return. We still have a number of great events planned, like Great Days of Service where we'll be collecting non-perishable food items at One Justice Square Building from October 1 to October 22 to support families who are struggling due to COVID-19, and America Recycles Day on November 14 where we'll be helping our neighbors recycle electronics and cans of latex paint or rid their home of sensitive documents with secure paper shredding. While we're sad that we won't be able to commemorate our anniversary the way we planned, one of the best ways to celebrate 40 years of positively impacting our local environment and communities is to end the year on a high note with two highly successful events." Marking the nonprofit's one and only fundraiser of the year, the cancellation of the Governor's Environmental Address will undoubtedly create a void in GC&B's fundraising efforts.
