The 5 Challenge

It's a simple challenge.

Come up with a creative fundraiser.

As a class. Grade. Team. Family. Group of friends. Or yourself.


Then recruit 5 people to participate.

For example;

Coach Bottomly is having his basketball players

get 5 people to donate $1, $5, or whatever $ amount

every time they win a game.

They are calling it a "Win for Water".

Brainstorm with your teachers. Parents. Friends.

Ask them: what could we do to rise to this challenge

to help students rise to overcome a greater challenge:

living without clean water.

All donations will go to charity: water and are tax-deductible.

100% of all monies will go directly to providing a school in Africa

of 1,000 students,

a new well,

new bathroom facilities,

and new hygiene resources,

so students can drink clear water,

go to the bathroom in a dignifying way,

and receive added protection from infection and disease.

Eventually, your 5 people will ask - how do I donate?

It's simple.

Just click the Donate button.

But wait until January 26.

We only have a 3 month window of time (January 26-April 26)

to run our campaign on charity: water's web site,

where your 5 people will receive a tax deduction,

but more importantly, where every dollar they give

goes toward our goal of $20,000,

breaking the vicious cycle of extreme poverty for

one school,

and one community in Africa,

and helping building a foundation for a better, brighter, and hope-filled future.

Will you help us do that?
