Thank you Rainbow Sandals Foundation for the support of Project3R this week. We couldn’t do what we do without the support of our sponsors and volunteers. Project3R and Ryan are proud to make an impact with the Rainbow Sandals Foundation. See you all at the next beach clean up!

Awesome Huntington Beach clean up today with my friends at Orange County Soccer Club. 45 lbs of trash picked up! Thank you everyone that came out to make an impact with us this morning. Thank you Orange County Soccer Club for supporting our mission. See you all at the next one!#maketheseatrashfree

I’m super excited to announce that my new MAKE THE SEA TRASH FREE hats (and stickers) are now available on my web site. All proceeds from the sales of these hats support Project3R’s mission to clean up our coastlines and educate kids about taking care of our planet. Get one today to support Project3R and help make a difference! Very limited inventory on these 4 styles of hats so get one while you can! #maketheseatrashfree

Today was a fun day with all the amazing volunteers with the LA Kings organization. We had a great turnout at Dockweiler State Beach and we picked up 152 lbs of trash together. For those of you who have never been to Dockweiler State Beach, it’s at the end of the LAX runway so about every 5 minutes, another large plane is taking off overhead. It’s very interesting to see the planes flying so low overhead. We found the usual stuff – plastic pieces, small trash, cigarette butts, waterbottle lids, beach toys, etc + my dad found a $5 bill in the sand that he donated to Project3R. Thank you to the LA Kings for making an impact with Project3R today. #maketheseatrashfree

We had another great Project3R clean up this week with the Anaheim Ducks/Anaheim Ducks Foundation in Huntington Beach! We picked up 164 lbs of trash and had a great time making an impact. I love partnering with the Ducks to make a difference in our community together. #GoDucks! #flytogether #maketheseatrashfree

If you’ve followed my social media or blog posts for the past few years, you probably know that I go dig fossils in Wyoming each summer with my dad. We usually go camping and make it an adventure. This year we drove to Grand Junction to see my Grandma, Uncle and Aunt for a few days. We met up with some friends who drove all the way out from Kentucky to dig for fossils with us. We checked out Dinosaur National Monument Quarry Exhibit which was super interesting and also saw some Indian petroglyphs on the cliff sides. We camped in Flaming Gorge, Utah along the Green River and even went river rafting. I couldn’t believe how clear the water was and how many fish were swimming around.

Fossil dig day, we got up early and packed up our campsite and drove two hours to American Fossil in Kemerrer, Wyoming. It was much colder than we expected with a temperature around 50 most of the day and it got pretty windy at times. We had a great time as always, found a lot of fossils and Cooper and the team at American fossil were very helpful. After a day of fossil digging with our friends, we ate a huge pizza at Rosie’s Pizza and crashed out for the night. We made our way back to Grand Junction, Colorado for a day and then headed SouthWest to Zion National Park with another friend of ours. We went on a hike, saw some dinosaur tracks in St. George, Utah and had some decent ramen for dinner. The next morning, we got up early and headed home. I had a great time and the week went by so quick. I’m already planning our next adventure. Keep an eye on my social media pages over the next month as we work on some of the fossils we found. My dad uses a air scribe to reveal the partially exposed fossils.

Thank you to everyone who participated in Project3R’s Month of May 5 in 5 Cleanup Tour! We completed five beach clean ups in 5 weekends, starting with Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Dana Point, San Clemente and joining forces with AO Latinoamerica in Ensenada, Mexico!

Thank you to our amazing sponsors and all the volunteers who made this possible. Our goal was to collect 1,000 pounds of trash from the coastline, and we surpassed that again this year with a total trash count of 1,685 pounds! All of the recyclable items were sorted from the trash at each cleanup and over 500 volunteers made a huge difference with us.  A huge shout out to the following organizations for supporting us for this 5 event campaign. You helped make this happen!

Sonance Cares / The KYA Group / Anaheim Ducks Foundation / Strategic Kids
Cox Communications / Sand Cloud / Rainbow Sandals Foundation / AO Latinoamérica
Polywood / Akaso / Mares Foundation / Sun Bum / The Printery / Plantlife
