Save the Cooper Concert—A FUNdamental Right

Thanks to all you guys who “gave your liver to save our Cooper River” at the Railroad Earth concert last Friday. And to SweetWater Brewery who made it all possible!

Working to uphold our fundamental right to swimmable, drinkable, fishable water doesn’t seem like work at all. Especially when we get to join forces with SweetWater Brewery, the Waterkeeper Alliance, and all of you!

The concert at the Music Farm opened up with an inspirational show by Bison, the liturgical folk-rock band from Chesapeake, Virginia. Followed by a rousing set of speeches by Railroad Earth’s Tim Carbone, SweetWater’s Director of Marketing, Steve Farace, and our very own Cyrus Buffum. In between Railroad Earth’s two enthusiastic sets, the Waterkeeper Alliance and Charleston Waterkeeper showed videos about our shared right to clean water.

Around 750 of you attended the Save the Cooper Concert. And together we raised money to put towards our Water Quality Monitoring Project and other initiatives.

But we’re not there yet. The Save the Cooper Campaign continues until the 4^th of July. Please support our river by stopping by a participating restaurant/bar and buying a paper fish for $1, $5, or $10. For more information visit www.savethecooper.com.

Thanks again! We love working and playing with you crazy kids.
