Buy a Fish Save the French Broad
’)
Save the French Broad 2009 has kicked off with over 25 area bars, restaurants, and businesses participating to sell fish. RiverLink is working with Sweetwater Brewery to Save the French Broad. Dozens of bars, restaurants and businesses are selling paper fish that say "I gave of my liver to save the river." This campaign is designed to raise awareness about the health of the French Broad River and to raise money so RiverLink can continue to build parks, greenways, conduct water quality monitor, and stream cleanups.
As far back as the Cherokee Indians, the French Broad Watershed has attracted people with its stunning natural beauty and clean water. For the first time in over three decades, the river is declining and threatened as never before.
Because of this critical moment in the history of the French Broad River, RiverLink and Sweetwater Beer are working to Save the French Broad.
The goal of the campaign is to raise over $10,000 that will put directly back into helping save the French Broad.
