Why Laura & Chuck Van Hise is fundraising for clean water

Every day, 1,400 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. Let's help change that!

At swimming pools across this country, chemicals are added every day that make thousands of gallons of readily accessible, clean water non-potable so that they can be used for recreation while millions around the world do not have access to clean water to drink. Out of this abundance, we hope to change the lives of just a few by raising funds doing something we love-- swimming laps at the Hyde Park YMCA on Saturday, November 22nd.

There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world. We hope that you will partner with us to bring clean water to some who need it now.
