Thanks so much to all of you who gave water yesterday! I still haven't heard how much was raised total from people all over the country...but I will let you know as soon as I do. I also want to explain things a little more.
"Water for Christmas" was started by the sister of one of my best friends, and her group of her friends. They found charity:water and decided to team up with that organization and really make a difference. Last year, they did $10 Friday's every Friday, but decided to just do it once this year. They also are selling things on etsy, doing races, painting driveways - you name it. All to raise money to build wells in Africa. It's an ongoing thing. The beauty is, you can give a little - or you can give a lot. Last Christmas, we gave water for Christmas presents. This year, we plan to put a display up at Big O. All to help people like these:
