Press release from RiverLink:
Avoid the chaos and long shopping lines on Black Friday and join the Adventure Center of Asheville and Wildwater Ltd. for the sixth annual Green Friday at all their locations. Ages four and over can zip at KidZip or climb Treetops Park. Ages ten and over can enjoy Zipline Canopy Tours. They will donate 50 percent of all revenue to some great non-profit organizations: Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project (ASAP) in Asheville, RiverLink in Asheville, Trees Greenville in Upstate South Carolina, Walhalla Heritage Oaks, Watershed Association of the Tuckasegee River, and Arbor Source hemlock treatment programs.
Green Friday is an alternative to Black Friday and has already generated over $10,000 in donations to plant trees and improve green spaces in our communities. Instead of standing in long shopping lines, bring the family or friends and have fun zipping and climbing. Green Friday always happens on the Friday following Thanksgiving; this year’s event will be November 25.
