On Wednesday, August 6th, the Spokane Indians front office, game day employees, and local volunteer spent the day cleaning up the Spokane River at Redband Park and Islands Trailhead as part of the 2025 Redband Rally River Cleanup sponsored by the Spokane Tribe Resort & Casino.
"The Spokane River is the beating heart of this region and protecting it for future generations is a cornerstone of our Redband Rally campaign," said Spokane Indians Senior Vice President Otto Klein. "We want to thank all of the volunteers that joined us today for our third annual River Cleanup and encourage everyone in the Inland Northwest to get involved in the stewardship of our area's natural resources."
The two groups of volunteers-with a little moral support provided by RIBBY the Redband Trout-collected hundreds of pounds of trash and debris (including countless socks, cigarette butts, bottles, cans, and even a tire) in an effort to protect the health and vibrancy of the Spokane River. The Spokane Indians would like to extend a special thank you to the Spokane Riverkeeper, Spokane River Forum, the City of Spokane, and all of our Redband Rally Campaign supporters.

"We are grateful for all of the community support we receive from partners and volunteers; we couldn't accomplish all we do without their hard work and dedication."
