A public beach cleanup is set to happen Aug. 11 on Alki Beach as part of the Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project, a longstanding partnership between Barefoot Wine and the Surfrider Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s oceans, waves and beaches.

The project is part of a tour of 25 cleanups nationwide.

Now in its sixth year, the Project calls on community volunteers to participate in a local beach cleanup, helping to keep Seattle’s shoreline “barefoot friendly” for all to enjoy.

Following the cleanup, participants 21+ are invited to celebrate their efforts featuring Barefoot Wine and food.

Attendees can find more information and RSVP for the free event at BeachRescue2012.com.

If you'd like to be part of the event which happens between 11am and 1pm head to Alki Beach at Alki Avenue & 60th Avenue s.w. and look for the Surfrider tent.

The celebration that follows will be from 2pm to 4pm at Slices on Alki 2600 Marine Ave. s.w.

You must be 21 or older to take part in the celebration part of the event.
