They would sacrifice their education, their safety, their time. They would walk multiple miles every day — in treacherous conditions, in extreme heat — for water that’s not even safe to drink. Many do all of the above. After all, access to water is life or death. There’s nothing they wouldn’t do. This September, we’re asking our supporters to do something — literally anything! — too. A September fundraiser is how we got our start back in 2006. Since then, you’ve helped us fund 137,015 water projects that will bring clean and safe water to more than 17 million people. Our brand partnerships community has been essential in helping us get this far — and many of you have a long history of joining us as fundraisers in addition to your generous giving! This year we’re upping the ante, adding prizes and incentives — including the opportunity for one lucky fundraiser to travel with our team to see their impact firsthand (more on that below). We know our brand partners always want to do good in the world, but we hope these perks might inspire you to rally your team for clean water!

Believe us when we say: You can truly do anything. Turn a hobby you love into a fundraiser, attempt a physical feat, or take on a challenge as a team, like giving up ordering lunch and donating what you would have spent. Or try something truly off-the-wall, like raffling off the chance to decide everyone’s Zoom backgrounds for a day. After all, the crazier your idea, the more attention it’ll grab from your community. Just do something. Because with 3,800 lives being lost daily to the impacts of the water crisis, the craziest thing any of us could do is nothing. [A gif of a vehicle driving on a remote dirt road in Sierra Leone]( There’s simply no substitute for seeing the impact you’ve made with your own eyes. Being there to meet the people whose lives have been changed — or will soon be changed — by access to clean water? Gets us every time. We want our supporters to have the opportunity to experience that amazing feeling for themselves. That’s why we’re giving one of our September fundraisers the chance to go see their impact firsthand. In addition to our field trip, we’re giving away a trip to visit us in NYC and a bunch of other prizes provided by our beloved brand partners. Not to mention the reason we’re all here — to help provide clean water where it’s needed most. We know this cause is important to you, so we hope you’ll consider sharing this campaign — including all the big rewards up for grabs — with your friends and followers. Thanks, as always, for working with us to help bring an end to the world water crisis — for good.
