Our Dad, Kenneth Mattie, owned and operated Ken's Barber Service for 60 years in Cincinnati's Westwood Neighborhood. He was proud of his community and always serving others. Every day, you could see him walking through the neighborhood picking up litter. It was his own way to show his pride in his neighborhood and to care for others and earned him the nickname "Kenny Clean Up". Everything we know about serving others, we learned from our dad. This world was lucky enough to hold him for 85 years and he passed away on December 3, 2022.

We can think of no better way to honor our dad then to organize a community wide litter pick up on what would have been his 86th birthday weekend. We 're partnering with Keep Cincinnati Beautiful, Westwood Civic Association, Westside Brewing and Wondercade to make picking up trash fun!

We'll gather volunteers April 29th from 9a-12p to take to the streets and make them cleaner for all of our neighbors. We'll start with a gathering for breakfast and litter team assignments, then we go get that litter! And because we want to celebrate with you, we're hosting an after-party at Westside Brewing! Your first beer is on us and we'll also have Scarlato's pizza for everyone. Because a celebration of our dad wouldn't be complete without a sweet treat, we'll have his favorite ice cream, Graeter's, for everyone to share and you'll be able to wash it down with his favorite beverage, Lemonade (don't worry, it's not Country Time). We'll also give out "Oscars" for Funniest Find, Weirdest Find, and Biggest Piece of Trash.
