ABOUT
The Background
In the spring of 2021, the Canning Chair and the Finance Committee Director of Dance Marathon began the steps to create a new program. The idea, to create a sustainable volunteer-based program. From that thought process came the Pop-Pick-Up! Through a partnership with Can Shed and Kinnick Stadium, we launched this. We as Dance Marathon staff the gates and direct football fans to place their cans and bottles into our collection boxes. After kickoff Dance Marathon begins to clean up around the gates to help maintain a healthy Iowa City! On Sunday members of Dance Marathon gather at Kinnick and sort all cans collected Saturday by us and by Kinnick staff. The end result, less pollution, and money towards the children's hospital.
