2024 Volunteer Event Beneficiaries

In 2024 we kicked off a new round of hands-on volunteer opportunities on tour! We’re so thankful to the 130 fans who volunteered their time to help these amazing organizations.

7/20 Mansfield, MA – Keep Mansfield Beautiful

Founded in 2009 following the first Great Mansfield Cleanup, Keep Mansfield Beautiful offers programs to make our community a cleaner, greener, more beautiful place to live, work, and play. We are a board of the Town of Mansfield and proudly collaborate with town departments to support the mission to keep Mansfield a cleaner, greener community.

The WaterWheel volunteers picked up 30 bags/670 lbs of trash and watered 120 flower pots.

7/24 Uncasville, CT – Avalonia

Avalonia works to acquire, protect, and maintain land of high conservation and habitat value; combat climate change for the benefit of people and wildlife; and ensure healthy, livable communities for now and generations to come.

WaterWheel volunteers helped improve access to trails by moving logs, clearing and chopping down small trees and shrubbery obstructing the pathways.

7/31 St Louis, MO – Gateway 180

Gateway180, Missouri’s largest family shelter, provides a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment to women, children, and families in need as they navigate the path from homelessness to permanent and independent housing.

WaterWheel volunteers helped put a fresh coat of paint throughout their facility.

8/3 Noblesville, IN – Indy Book Project

All children deserve to have books in their homes. Indy Book Project provides books to families through relationships with nonprofits, neighborhood centers, schools, and teachers. We’re on a mission to ensure all children in the Indianapolis area have access to books. We collect books from the community, then sort, box, and get them right back into the hands of children who need them most.

The WaterWheel volunteers played games with local kids, read to them and gave them books to bring home.

8/7 Grand Rapids, MI – Kids Food Basket

Kids’ Food Basket exists to increase access to healthy food for children and families. Our core belief is that food is a right, not a privilege. Because that is not yet a reality, we mobilize human and financial resources to break down barriers that cause food insecurity. Our services include our flagship Sack Supper program, community-driven farming, family food provision and educational programming. Collectively, we are working toward realizing a hunger-free West Michigan for all.

WaterWheel volunteers helped harvest produce at their farm in Grand Rapids.

8/10 Bethel, NY – Catskill Animal Rescue

Catskill Animal Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit animal welfare organization dedicated to saving homeless, abused and abandoned animals and to protecting animals from cruelty and neglect through education and enforcement of humane laws.

The WaterWheel volunteer crew helped enhance the safety and security of the runs in back of their shelter. These improvements will allow dogs the freedom to run around outside without harming themselves or each other.

8/30 Commerce City, CO – Sand Creek Greenway

Sand Creek Greenway’s mission is to promote curiosity, environmental awareness, and community health through stewardship and experiences with an urban greenspace that offers equitable access and connection to the diverse habitats, communities, places, and cities thriving along the Sand Creek Regional Greenway.

WaterWheel volunteers helped collect water quality data, pick up trash, and remove invasive weeds along the greenway.
