Why Roy Orecchio is fundraising for clean water

The Ugly Sweater Birthday Party is a party and a fundraiser. Please join me in working to bring clean and safe drinking water to developing parts of the planet. Together we have brought fresh water to over 1,200 people. We can do more! Now is the time to act. Please donate to this campaign in place of bringing a gift to the party.

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, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. 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.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my 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.
