SOLVE and the PSU Alumni Association partnered for this event that was not just about beautifying the city but about building community.

“It’s really important that we’re all out taking care of the city,” SOLVE CEO Kris Carico told KOIN 6 News. “We want to show people that it’s vibrant and it’s livable and that it’s a safe place to be. So we really encourage people to come out whenever we do any downtown events to really take care of this place that we love.”
