Ted Evgeniadis, Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper/executive director, talked about the organization and its participation in Give Local York, a countywide day of fundraising set for May 1:

What is the mission of Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association?

Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association is dedicated to improving the ecological health of the Lower Susquehanna River Watershed and the Chesapeake Bay. Current and future citizens of the Lower Susquehanna River Watershed deserve high water quality, wise and sustainable use of all aquatic resources, and preservation of the aesthetic value of our waterways. Improvement will come about through education, research, advocacy, and insistence upon compliance with the law.

Why is the organization excited to participate in Give Local York this year?

Our organization is a small but growing organization that does tremendous work for clean water by holding polluters accountable. Our organization does not receive state or federal funding and is sustainable on donations, membership dues, and few grants. A local give day is paramount to our success by bringing in dollars from new supporters and recurring GLY supporters. Our outreach on give day allows us to reach an audience we wouldn't have reached before. We are a membership organization so its critical for us to bring in and retain members. Our members are the voices for the river, and Give Local York makes that voice a little louder year after year. Thank you!
