    DSA Adopts a Road – Join Our First Cleanup!

    We’re excited to share that the Downtown Sarasota Alliance has officially adopted a road here in Sarasota! As part of this commitment, we’ll be organizing four cleanup days each year, dedicating one hour at a time to keeping our community clean and beautiful.

    Our very first cleanup will take place on Friday, September 20th, from 8:00–10:00 AM, in honor of International Coastal Cleanup Day. We’d love for our members and supporters to join us in this effort—your helping hands make a big difference!

    Come out, roll up your sleeves, and help us make Sarasota shine. Together, we can show pride in our city and keep our community spaces looking their best.

    Interested in volunteering RSVP! 

    Thank you from everyone at The Downtown Sarasota Alliance
