supporters. The events are free to the public to attend. The support from various donors throughout our
community that the Foundation receives is crucial for the continuation and success of the Earth Day celebrations.
Please consider becoming a 2008 Earth Day supporter by making a tax deductible donation, submitting a booth
application or providing a raffle prize. Sponsorship levels are listed on the back of this letter. We are also open

The goal of this volunteer run, non-profit event is to recognize, celebrate and promote the region’s unique beauty
and to educate the public regarding how to preserve and protect our local and global natural resources. The Tahoe
Truckee Earth Day Foundation is also working to increase the effort around solid waste management and will
continue to work towards its goal of hosting a Zero Waste event.
