The Bay Green Foundation partners with The Chesapeake Bay
Trust for the “5K for the Bay”
Millersville, Maryland, June 22, 2013- The Bay Green
Foundation, under the direction of Greg Fisk, has partnered with The Chesapeake
Bay Trust for their 2nd annual “5K for the Bay.” The goal of this 5K race is to raise awareness
of the critical condition of the Bay, as well as raise money to assist in its
protection.
The Bay Green Foundation’s specific goal through this 5K is
to raise money (monetary goal set at $5,000) to support an oyster re-bed
project in the Magothy River, which runs through Anne Arundel County. Due to pollution, runoff, and other
ecological issues, the condition of the Magothy River has been consistently
declining over the past few years. The
Magothy River is a staple within the Anne Arundel Community, making its
deplorable health a pressing issue.

the Bay.” By signing up using the
