National CleanUp Day is calling upon North American corporations to join forces to champion environmental responsibility. With National CleanUp Day marking its eighth consecutive year on September 21, 2024, the organization is seeking to amplify its impact by enlisting corporate partners to clean and enhance America’s communities.
“Since the inception of National CleanUp Day, we’ve been immensely grateful for the
steadfast support of numerous corporate sponsors including PINK, Planet Oat and
Foresters Financial,” said Steve Jewett, the founder and president of National CleanUp
Day. “As we look ahead, we recognize the imperative of fostering a community-driven
approach. Now, more than ever, we see this moment as a pivotal opportunity to unite in
collective action and embrace shared responsibility.”
National CleanUp Day, since its 2017 establishment, has evolved into the largest single-day
cleanup initiative nationwide, mobilizing two million volunteers each year. By harnessing
strategic alliances with global entities such as World Cleanup Day and Earth Day,
National CleanUp Day aspires to foster a collective consciousness toward nurturing a
cleaner, healthier outdoor environment.
ANT Creative, the marketing and communications company spearheading National
CleanUp Day’s marketing and development efforts, underscores the pivotal role of
corporate collaboration in realizing the transformative potential of the event.
“Besides financial contributions, which are undeniably vital, we must cultivate a culture of
collective responsibility,” said Noah Ullman, ANT Creative. “Addressing the issue of
litter demands a concerted, community-wide effort. Even with two million volunteers, the
challenge persists. We need broader support, and we firmly believe that organizations
stepping forward with both financial backing and tangible action will be instrumental in
the success of National CleanUp Day.”

- 88 percent of firms correlate purpose with profits, while 97 percent link it to employee morale.
