In previous years our chapter has worked hard to support this important and established community-based yet globally impacting event. We look forward to participating for the 3rd year in a row, with a fundraising goal of $750.00. We hope you'll consider joining us for this awesome event!
Every day millions of people have to walk miles and miles just for water. Most of the time, the water they can find is contaminated and makes them sick. We are excited because Water Mission is changing lives, one community at a time, through their sustainable safe water solutions.
Each dollar raised by this event is going to make an impact through a safe water community development project! We hope you'll consider supporting out team by making a donation or registering to walk with us.
