Why Drake Shipway is fundraising for clean water

I'm turning 19, so lets head out to the bar so you can shower me in drinks, right? Not quite.. This year I'm celebrating my birthday differently. I don't want presents or drinks. No five dollar beers or twelve dollar piña coladas for me, please. I just want clean water.

Did you know that almost a BILLION people on this magnificent planet don’t have access to clean drinking water? 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.

100% of every dollar you donate to my birthday campaign will be used to build clean water projects in developing countries. charity: water funds their operating costs separately through a group of private donors, so 100% of all public donations will go directly to people in need.

Help me make this birthday my best ever -- donate to my campaign! Thank you so much!
