Please help give back to the community in which you live, work and play! Join Mayor Coleman, Keep Columbus Beautiful and partners for a neighborhood highway ramp clean-up on Saturday, March 27, 8:30am-1:00pm!
All participants will meet at Dodge Park at 8:30am the day of the clean up, where volunteers will gather to meet, eat, greet, and form their team assignments. After a brief warm up and greeting, teams will travel to their assigned ramp location and conduct their cleanup.
We are looking for Ramp Site supervisors, Team captains and general volunteers.
Ramp Site Supervisors will be responsible for executing the cleanup of the ramp site. Responsibilities include: providing teams their equipment, review of safety guidelines, gathering data and communication with launch site personnel.
Team Captains will be charged with recruiting team members and building their team size. Team captains may also serve as a Ramp Site supervisor. When registering indicate what role you would like to play by answering all follow-up questions.
General Volunteers- if you live nearby one of the ramp interchanges listed on the site document below and would like to join the sponsoring group at that ramp, please sign up now and select the location you're interested in. If your selection on the "drop down menu" is marked N/A meaning the site is filled, please inform KCB at 645-2421 and see what your options are.
All KickButtColumbus ramp site locations may be viewed on Google Maps by viewing the KickButtColumbus 2010 Site document found here. This document will be updated daily until all site locations have been adopted by groups competing in this year's event.
Please help us by spreading the word! Who should you recruit?
- Family (youth must be 12 years or older & accompanied by parent)
- Friends

This event is open to the public! If you do not have a team affiliation we will assign you to a team.
