Quotes from our business partners on why they support Columbia Riverkeeper.
Island Sailing Owner & Operator, Stephen Frankland
“For over twenty years Columbia Riverkeeper has been a tireless environmental advocate for this wonderful river so many of us have the pleasure of exploring and enjoying under sail – and Island Sailing is so very happy to support their efforts.”
Ferment Brewing Company Director of Operations, Jenn Peterson
“At Ferment Brewing we have long been inspired by the beauty of the Columbia River, and we love enjoying a pint at our taproom while watching local windsurfers and kiteboarders. That’s why we proudly support the community and advocacy work of Columbia Riverkeeper that makes our river cleaner, safer for everyone, and habitable for our region’s indicator fish species. We invite you to join us in raising a glass in honor of this great organization. Cheers!”
Big Winds Owner, Jodie Gates
“Going on year 36 in business at Big Winds, we remain committed to supporting Riverkeeper’s efforts! We need our great river and its communities to remain healthy for the long term: for recreating, sure, but for the greater good more importantly.”
