Penny and Evan Are The Change ~ Sponsor Them!
For the last seven years Penny and Evan have cleaned up litter from so many areas in Nelson. And in 2019, they are amplifying their efforts by having their team sponsored to support the Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation.
How it began... Penny gave her young neighbor Evan, who was 5 years old at the time, found the smallest gardening gloves she could find at Easter, and invited him to help her clean up some litter nearby their homes.
7-years later, they still going out regularly to clean up litter strewn around Nelson. They would like to add to the impact of their cleanups, by getting sponsors to support them ~ and they will donate 100% of the proceeds to the Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation.
