Fall is upon us, and that crisp air we’ve been getting means Halloween is fast approaching! Once again Velocity Online is keeping things festive by sponsoring Keep Tallahassee Beautiful’s fundraising event: Shoot the Moon. On October 28th, Killearn Country Club will be home to spooky sand traps and haunted holes. Velocity Online is proud to be a sponsor for such an amazing cause, which has done so much for our community.
Keep Tallahassee Beautiful is a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping the unique Tallahassee community as beautiful as it can be. The volunteer-based effort focuses on reducing litter and waste, as well as promoting recycling. They have reduced litter in Tallahassee and Leon County by 40%, and they are focused on making a difference on a global scale by acting on a local one.

- Over 2,200 cleanups
- Over 64,000 volunteers organized at cleanups
- Over 1,850 trees planted
- Over 650 graffiti sites abated
- Over 150 sites beautified
