The 2009 Boat Lift and Clean Up Crew poses for a apres cleanup photo. We have much more to do this year and hope you'll join us for another run to Pleasure Beach!

Join Connecticut Community Boating for the second annual Pleasure Beach Boat Lift and Cleanup. We will embark from Remington Beach at Seaside Park at 9AM and sail to Pleasure Beach in the CCB Fleet. Once there we will clean up the massive amount of debris and pollution that lines the shores of the long abandoned property. We will boat lift the collected items back to the mainland for proper disposal. This is a chance to visit the peninsula once heralded as “The Jewel of the Eastern Seaboard”, off limits since the burning of the bridge on Father’s Day 1996. To register for the clean up that is part of International Coast Cleanup Day, please call 203-382-3661 or email ctcommunityboating@gmail.com . This event is made possible in partnership with Save the Sound.

We're feverishly working to raise $10,000 by month's end to cap off a huge summer of success and roll into the fall on a strong note. We're calling all hands on deck to donate what they can to help support this effort and hope you will dig deep to help us continue to provide every child with a chance to get out on the water and ensure no child is left ashore. 

If you haven't heard from us yet, please expect a call soon, but better yet, beat us to it and contribute what you can today either by check or credit card. Remember we're privately run and privately supported and can only continue to provide this much needed resource to our community with support from individuals like you. So please support us in your way today!
