What is it?
Canoes for a Cause is an event that Jake Leinenkugel started to help clean up the waterways of the United States. These events are held in different cities in the United States. The Leinenkugel's pair up with an organization in the city the Canoes for a Cause event is held in for them to advertise and spread the word of the event to get people to show up and help. They try to get as many volunteers as possible to help. The volunteers pick up trash, debris, and invasive plant species from the river and the riverbanks. To get things that are floating in the river, they have volunteers in canoes paddling down the river, creek, or around the lake. The Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company sometimes serve snacks and Leinenkugel beer, depending on the location and the local rules. Some places do not allow food, or alcoholic beverages in the area.
From the videos, you can see that a lot of trash was picked up out of the Milwaukee River and Minnehaha Creek. Things like shopping carts and tires were pulled from the Milwaukee River. The Canoes for a Cause is popular because the people that are volunteering, are doing so because they want to help keep the river, that they use, clean.
