The Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project™ Returns For Its Ninth Year Of Keeping America's Beaches "Barefoot friendly"

MODESTO, Calif., May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Barefoot Wine & Bubbly proudly announces the ninth year of its Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project, a partnership with the Surfrider Foundation, a grassroots, nonprofit environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world's oceans, waves and beaches. Since 2007, the Project has donated more than $1,000,000 to the Surfrider Foundation and traveled from coast-to-coast, hosting more than 130 cleanup events. With the help of 10,000 volunteers, the Project has removed more than 14 tons of litter and debris from our waterways in an effort to keep America's beaches "Barefoot friendly."

This summer, the Project will visit 12 beaches and rivers across the country where local community members can lend a hand – and a foot! – to improve the state of their local shores. Afterwards, volunteers will be invited to an appreciation celebration organized by the Surfrider Foundation.

"We're incredibly proud of the work we've done the past eight years," said Anli Zhang from Barefoot Wine & Bubbly. "Supporting communities around the country is at the core of who we are at Barefoot, and we're thrilled to spend another summer cleaning beaches with Surfrider, an organization equally passionate about making the world a better place."

If the Project isn't visiting your town in 2015, you can still do your part to keep America's beaches "Barefoot friendly!" For every photo posted by someone 21+ using #BeachRescue on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, Barefoot will donate $5 up to a maximum donation of $50,000 to Surfrider during the period of May 15, 2015 through September 30, 2015. For more event details and terms and conditions, please visit BeachRescue2015.com  

"The Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project perfectly demonstrates how tiny acts of conservation can make a meaningful, long-term impact," said Kyle Lishok, Marketing Manager for the Surfrider Foundation. "We love being barefoot on the beach, and through this Project, we hope to showcase how that very notion is being threatened."
