Community Partners
Think Blue San Diego is proud to partner with the following organizations to help educate the public on the importance of the stormwater system and conduct cleanup activities throughout the region.
The club’s vision is to be a force for good through the game of football and drive meaningful impact for women and girls on the field, in the workplace, at home and society.
Founded in 1954, this nonprofit aims to inspire San Diegans to actively conserve and enhance the environment through example, outreach and involvement.
Started by a group of concerned citizens 20 years ago, this foundation acts as a steward for the San Diego’s namesake river and is dedicated to making it a truly regional asset valued by all San Diegans.
This advocacy group helps educate San Diego’s students about watersheds and wildlife, hosts beach cleanups year-round, and pushes for legislation to improve stormwater health.
This organization recently challenged San Diegans to take the “ 52 Ways to Love Your Water” pledge and take small weekly actions to help protect our waterways.
