Protecting water quality is critical to the health of the environment in Stafford County, as it is situated within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Stafford County’s Environmental Division promotes and supports the placement of storm drain markers on stormwater infrastructure inlets. Friends of the Rappahannock (FOR) and Stafford County collaborate to identify storm drains without metal markers that are marked "No Dumping" or "Drains to Waterways.”There will be a storm drain marking volunteer opportunity on Saturday, April 11, 2026, from 9 am to noon in the Potomac Hills community. You can sign up at https://riverfriends.org/product/april-drain-marking/. No experience is necessary to participate, as the Friends of the Rappahannock group will provide training. All materials, such as markers, adhesives and gloves, will be provided to mark the storm drains.In an effort to reduce pollution, storm drain marking aims to educate the public that everything that goes down these drains ends up in the river and Bay. When it rains, stormwater that moves through properties and streets does not infiltrate into the ground; instead, it flows into surface water, carrying any debris along the way. Surfaces in urban areas collect pollutants, such as automobile oil, grease, brake pad dust and sediment from construction sites, bacteria from animal waste, excess lawn care fertilizers and pesticides. Rainfall containing these pollutants is carried to nearby drinking water supplies, waterways, beaches and properties.If you see any unmarked drains on private roads and neighborhoods, you can submit them to the Friends of the Rappahannock (FOR) by filling out a form. FOR will coordinate all details and provide supplies for chosen eligible projects. Once completed, Stafford County will collect the data on marked drains through this survey.For more information on Stafford County’s Storm Drain Marking Program, visit https://www.staffordcountyva.gov/government/departments_p-z/public_works/community_development/environmental/stormwater_management/storm_drain_marking_program.php.

"Stafford County Social Services seeks sponsors and teams for its 16th Annual Golf Classic for Stafford’s Kids. The tournament occurs Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at Augustine Golf Club, 75 Monument Drive, Stafford, VA. Social Services is also soliciting donations of golf-related items to raffle. This fundraiser provides for the needs of adults and children who are not covered by state or federal funding. “Participants and sponsors for this tournament will be helping to provide for children, families and seniors who need a little extra help,” said Director of Social Services Michael Muse. “We invite everyone to play golf and directly impact the local community.” One of the best ways to support the tournament is to become a sponsor. There are several different sponsorship opportunities: tournament sponsor, corporate sponsor, community sponsor, golf cart sponsor, hole sponsor, raffle item donations and goody bag sponsor. Golfers can also sign up individually for the tournament or play on a team. The cost to play includes 18 holes of golf, green and cart fees, and a barbecue lunch. Contributions may be tax-deductible. Please consult with your tax professional on the potential deductibility/amount of this contribution. Proceeds from the event go directly back to the community through various programs and events, including an annual foster family Kings Dominion Day, assistance with prescriptions, diapers and formula, warm clothing, grocery store gift cards, supporting teens aging out of foster care and needing help setting up their new life, and more. The department hosts an annual holiday program where the public can donate food and presents. Participants receive a holiday meal at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Additionally, they receive presents at Christmas. The golf tournament proceeds help purchase items not donated to the Holiday Program. Individual player sign-ups are $100, including play, fees and lunch. The cost is $400 for a foursome. Play starts with a shotgun start at 9:00 a.m. on June 3, 2026. To sign up for the tournament or to sponsor, please visit: www.staffordcountyva.gov/golfclassic. Contact Jodi Long with questions at [email protected]."
