I know, I know, this is supposed to be a dog blog…but every now and then, something so worthwhile comes about that it warrants attention here.
On Thursday, February 12, Twestivals will be held in over 175 cities worldwide in an effort to raise money and awareness for charity:water. 1 in 6 people (over 1 BILLION people, almost 17% of the planet’s population) do not have access to safe, clean drinking water. Children are especially prone to becoming ill from consuming this water. The goal of charity:water is to help dig wells in areas that otherwise would not be able to afford it.
The Charlotte event, which has been dubbed Cltwestival, will be held at Cans beginning at 7pm. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door. Admission starts at $10, but with 100% of ticket sales going directly to the charity, please consider giving what you can. Just $10 can provide water for one person for 12 years. So please come out to Cltwestival if you can, it should be a smashing good time in the name of charity. Did I mention the really awesome prizes? You could win a cruise, a Peak Fitness gym membership, scuba certification, tickets to live tapings of 106.5 The End END Sessions, a massage…the list goes on and on. Hope to see you there!
If the water problem hit home…
