What: 29th Annual White River Cleanup
When: Saturday, April 8, from 8 a.m. to noon (media availability 10-10:30 a.m.)

“Our annual support of the White River Cleanup is an important part of our ongoing commitment to restoring the rivers and streams of Central Indiana,” said Jeffrey Harrison, President & CEO of Citizens. “Another important milestone in our restoration efforts will occur later this year when the first 9 miles of the DigIndy Tunnel System opens and begins reducing potential sewer overflows by 1 billion gallons per year.”
“Each year the White River Cleanup has a bigger impact on this valuable natural resource. We appreciate the support of all of our sponsors and volunteers as we work together to return the White River and other streams to their original grandeur,” said Kevin Hardie, Executive Director of Friends of the White River.
