On Saturday, October 12th, 2024, we hosted our 2nd annual Salty Saguaro Classic Lower Salt River Land & Water River Cleanup & Fundraiser on the Tonto National Forest.

123 volunteers, including 13 youth volunteers, helped us remove 1,920 pounds of trash from the Lower Salt River! We raised $2,196 to help support our restoration projects on the Tonto National Forest! Thank you to everyone who donated to help support our 501c3 nonprofit organization!

Volunteers canvased the river from Water Users down to Granite Reef picking up trash from land & water, as well as helping us removing invasive cockleburs and stinknet.

Thank you to everyone who helped us make a positive impact on the river! Thank you to our Salty Saguaro Classic Event Sponsors (listed below)!!!

We had over 60 amazing prizes for the raffle! Volunteer received a free raffle ticket for reach bag of trash they brought to our dedicated dumpster & volunteers could donate to our nonprofit for additional tickets.
