Applebee’s to host Trash Bash fundraiser Saturday morning

100 percent of proceeds will go to support the inaugural Lake Tapps Trash Bash scheduled for Jan. 28 and 29.

The Applebee’s restaurant in Bonney Lake is hosting a pancake breakfast fundraiser Saturday morning with 100 percent of proceeds going to the Lake Tapps Trash Bash.

The inaugural Trash Bash, a volunteer clean-up effort created by Tapp Island resident Jon Bodewell after his daughter cut her foot on a broken bottle that washed up on shore near their home, is scheduled for Jan. 28 and 29.

Participants of the Trash Bash will fan out across the mostly-drained Lake Tapps, scouring the banks and bottom for garbage and debris.
