The Cahaba River Clean-Up is an annual one-day service event to help clean up the Cahaba River and is sponsored by the Alabama Central District of Civitan International. The Clean-Up will begin in Old Helena at Buck Creek Park where volunteer registration begins at 7am that morning. Volunteers will paddle the river in canoes to collect debris such as tires, bottles, balls, cans and other trash. Civitans, other community service groups, businesses, scout troops, environmentalists, student groups, canoeists, kayakers, and outdoor enthusiasts are invited to clean up the river or the adjacent river bank. Local businesses are invited to provide financial sponsorship/gifts in kind. All money raised goes to charities supported by local Civitan Clubs like the Buck Creek Club in Helena and to the Civitan International Research Center at UAB.
