Starting Off the New Year with a Splash

After chatting with Caitlin Britt about the CASADY4H2OPE project, senior Rosie Atkinson stepped up to the plate and deciced to host an event that would help meet our goal of 20000 dollars. Rosie said that the idea was pretty simple. Why not have her dad's New Year's Party be something more than just a celebration of the New Year? Mr. Atkinson agreed with the idea and they both decided that the party should have a charity:water theme. By showing both the September Birthday video and our video, the Atkinsons managed to raise a total of 900 dollars! She said," the CASADY4H2OPE project is really exciting becasue it's easy to get involved". Rosie also noted that they keep getting more donations even after the party because the word spread fast. The H2OPE team would like to thank Rosie for hosting this supportive event and encourages anyone else to talk with any memeber of the H2OPE Team about how they can help too.
