 Our goal for the 12th annual Spring Cleanup is 20,000 volunteers. PRIDE has dedicated the entire month of April to Spring Cleanup activities. This will be the ideal opportunity to beautify your community.
Spring Cleanup funds
PRIDE has received funding from the Kentucky Transportation Department to clean roadsides and tourist destinations, as well as to create beautification projects. To qualify to use these funds for your Spring Cleanup activities, your community must be represented at two planning workshops, one in February and the other in March. (PRIDE Coordinators, county judge-executives and mayors received notification letters about this requirement.)

To help your community plan a successful Spring Cleanup, please attend the training workshops. Anyone interested in organizing local Spring Cleanup activities is invited.
