United Water Makes $20,000 Donation To Support Save The Bay’s Environmental Education and Volunteer Program

PROVIDENCE, RI – Save The Bay executive director Jonathan Stone and Ed Wallace, executive director of the United Water Foundation, are pleased to announce a $20,000 donation from United Water Foundation to support Save The Bay’s environmental education and volunteer programs. In celebration of the gift, project managers from across United Water joined Save The Bay staff in June for a cookout and check presentation.

“United Water is first and foremost an environmental company, “said Wallace. “We have a major presence in the New England area and care deeply about the water that breathes life in the communities we serve and our neighbor’s communities. When we find good organizations, like Save the Bay, that are working to protect these waterways, we are eager to support their cause.”

“We are grateful to United Water for this generous gift, which is a testament to the company’s commitment to water quality and the environmental resources of this region,” said Stone. “The students who participate in our education programs, and the beautiful beaches that our dedicated volunteers regularly clean-up are the real beneficiaries here. These programs wouldn’t be possible without the support of committed partners like United Water,” he said.

Each year, Save The Bay organizes and supports the work of more than 3,000 volunteers who pick up debris at dozens of shoreline sites, help with habitat restoration, offer administrative support, serve eco-tourists, and much more. It also presents marine science and environmental education programming to more than 15,000 schoolchildren each year to build the next generation of ambassadors for Narragansett Bay
