August 2026: Young Professionals Happy Hour Volunteer Project

August 12 @ 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm

River Cleanup & Happy Hour!

This August, join fellow young professionals for a relaxed evening giving back to the South Platte River. We’ll meet at Commons Park for a trash pickup along the river, then stick around to enjoy cold drinks and good company in the park.

Event Details


When: Wednesday, Aug 12
Trash Pick Up: 6:00-7:30pm
Refreshments in the park: 7:30-8:00pm
Where: Commons Park
Who: Young professionals (however you define that!) looking to connect, give back, and spend a beautiful summer evening outside.
What: We’ll start by cleaning up the riverside trail, then unwind together with refreshments & pizza. If weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll head to our nearby office space instead.

Sign Up

What to Bring

TGF will provide trash gloves, trash grabbers, and hand-sanitizer.

We encourage you to bring:

  • Weather appropriate clothing
  • Close-toed shoes
  • Layers
  • Full water bottle
  • A friend! Let’s grow this community!

This is a great way to make a real impact and expand your community. Let’s keep our parks clean and our river flowing.

We can’t wait to see you there!
