Why Melissa Yong is fundraising for clean water

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, 5,000 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

The Jasper Place Music Department and Music Parents' Society believe strongly about reaching out and making a big difference to those in need. We would like to grasp the opportunity of using our musical celebrations as venues to support clean water projects by taking a donation of $2 or more as "admission" to our concerts. If you would like to donate $15 or more, please give online and you will receive a tax receipt.

Please donate to our campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
