Facing major cut-backs and closures, the California State Parks system has
announced it is partnering again with Stater Bros. Supermarkets and Coca-Cola Refreshments. This public/private partnership unites for the third straight year to raise funds for state parks in Southern California. This year's program, "Preserve Our Parks" (www.preserveourparks.info), is an intensive, six-week campaign with the goal of raising at least $750,000 to help provide forest preservation, trail maintenance, habitat preservation and beach clean-up across 750,000 acres of parklands that comprise the state park system in Southern California, alone.
The campaign encourages consumers to support Southern California State Parks while shopping at Stater Bros. Supermarkets. Shoppers can make a one-dollar, tax-deductible donation to the Preserve Our Parks campaign at Stater Bros. checkout stands through April 26, 2011 or they may donate online at www.preserveourparks.info. Additionally, through May 10, 2011, Coca-Cola Refreshments will donate one dollar when consumers purchase ten dollars' worth of participating Coca-Cola products at Stater Bros., including branded soft drinks, vitaminwater®, vitaminwater zero™, smartwater®, POWERADE ION4™, POWERADE ZERO™, FUZE®, DASANI® Gold Peak products, Minute Maid® products, Simply® juices and Honest Tea® products.
Preserve Our Parks directly benefits Southern California State Parks, and that partial list includes: Malibu Creek State Park and Topanga State Park in Los Angeles County; Huntington Beach, San Clemente and Crystal Cove State Parks in Orange County; Anza-Borrego, Cuyamaca Rancho and Carlsbad State Parks in San Diego County; Silverwood Lake and Chino Hills in San Bernardino County; and Lake Perris and Mount San Jacinto in Riverside County.
