Support the Clean Air Council
BECOME A MONTHLY DONOR
Through generous monthly donations, you can strengthen Clean Air Council's work. Monthly donations lower overhead costs and ensure stability in both the long- and short-term planning of the Council. This means the Council has more resources to focus on issues that matter most to you like air quality, global warming, and public health.
To begin monthly donations simply choose an amount that is comfortable for you, and that amount will be automatically debited out of your bank account or credit card on the same day of each month.*
Benefits of monthly giving:
- You receive less mail - meaning less paper waste
- Your gifts go to work faster - lowering fundraising overhead costs
- You strengthen the Council with steady, reliable support - ensuring stability for the long term
- You are able to contribute more than you could with a one time donation
- You will receive special updates on the most urgent air quality and global warming issues
* Monthly donations will be debited from Democracy in Action; however, all funds will go to Clean Air Council.
5K Run for Clean Air
Over the past three decades, The 5K Run for Clean Air has grown into Philadelphia’s largest Earth Day Celebration, a certified green run, and much more. Located on the beautiful banks of the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, the 5K Run for Clean Air is a community effort to decrease the air pollution that triggers asthma and other respiratory problems in our families, as well as support programs that reduce waste in favor of increased recycling and composting and slow down global warming.
The 5K Run for Clean Air is Philadelphia’s premier green run, an environmentally responsible event certified by Athlete’s For a Fit Planet. Last year the Council implemented a series of sustainable practices so that participants could enjoy a sense of accomplishment, not only from finishing, but from being environmentally conscious– something no other run in the area offers. Paperless registration eliminated the printing and mailing of over 25,000 Run brochures. Runners were urged to take public transportation, walk, or bike (bicycle valet provided!). All of the Run’s trash was either composted or recycled!
