April Clean Up Month

In April 2024, I orchestrated a month-long event called April Clean Up Month, partnering with six restaurants to feature unique menus at each location. A dollar from every item ordered off these special menus was donated to 4ocean, a nonprofit organization dedicated to cleaning the oceans. I worked closely with chefs and bar staff to curate the menus, ensuring a diverse and appealing selection. My collaboration extended to partnering with 4ocean, food purveyors and liquor companies, coordinating all donations to the cause. I did press releases, designed flyers and a t-shirt for the event, took pictures of all the menu items, designed and printed the menus, worked with staff to ensure seamless execution and gathered the materials for the month long promotion and beach clean ups.

To further support the initiative, I organized three beach cleanups across Florida, inviting both guests and staff to join our efforts. Each cleanup attracted a minimum of 35 participants, who each received a free event t-shirt, reflecting strong community engagement. The combined efforts of April Clean Up Month raised just under $2,500 for 4ocean, demonstrating the power of collaboration and community involvement in making a positive environmental impact.
