The 2008 American River Parkway Foundation (ARPF) Down River Day was the 24^th year of the event.  The weather was perfect, and more than 400 participants enjoyed the tremendous event.

Each year corporations sponsor a raft and enjoy the ride from American River Raft Rental, at Sunrise down to River Bend Park, formerly Goethe.  After the raft ride, participants enjoy a wonderful catered meal and live entertainment.  A silent auction is also part of the evening activities with many fabulous items such as weekend get-a-ways, golf foursomes and fly fishing expeditions.

Proceeds from the 2008 event will assist the Foundations’ stewardship programs. These programs include:

	Adopt the Parkway, a year-round group volunteer cleanup program,
	Invasive Plant Management Program, an intensive volunteer effort to rid the Parkway of invasive weeds,
	In My Backyard (IMBY), a program which fosters grassroots clean-up, maintenance and restoration efforts, and
	Great American River Clean-Up in September of each year.
