By investing in Keep Bossier Beautiful, you are providing resources to educate students. In 2019, we are reaching more than 450 students - but we need to reach them all!
Each $100 donation will help us to expand our program into another school by providing items such as giveaways, incentives and general educational resources.
$100 = 1 School
$500 = 5 Schools
$1000 = 10 Schools
$5000 = 50 Schools
Your donation will help to preserve our natural resources. Thank you for considering Keep Bossier Beautiful.
