Are you looking for a way to support the efforts of assuring that everyone in the world has access to clean water? If you’re already planning to go to a restaurant next week, you can find one in your area that has partnered with the Tap Project and you can be part of the solution!
During World Water Week, March 22-28, 2009, the Tap Project will once again raise vital donations and awareness for UNICEF’s water and sanitation programs. For every dollar raised, a child will have clean drinking water for 40 days. All funds raised support UNICEF’s efforts to bring clean and accessible water to millions of children around the world.
Next Thursday, March 26 ONE members and their friends will be meeting for dinner at Gordon Biersch. Instead of getting tap water for free, patrons will be asked to donate $1 or more for the tap water they usually enjoy for no cost, and all funds raised will support UNICEF’s efforts to bring clean and accessible water to millions of children around the world. Participants can RSVP at the ONE event site.
