Are you looking for a fun, unique experience that also happens to benefit charity?
This Thursday, Harry Buffalo is sponsoring the first ever Twestival (Twitter Festival) to benefit Charity: Water. According to the Charity: Water site, 1.1 billion people on the planet don't have access to safe, clean drinking water. That's one in six of us. Many communities in developing nations often have a plentiful supply of clean drinking water just below the ground, but no way to get to it. This is where charity: water and their partner organizations come in. Drilling a well can cost from $4,000 - $12,000 USD and many living on less than $1 a day cannot afford one in their community, even if the money is combined.
On 12 February 2009, 100+ international cities will be hosting a Twestival to bring Twitter communities together in an effort to raise money for charity: water. Twestival is organized 100% by volunteers around the world and 100% of the money raised from these events will go directly to support charity: water projects. By rallying together globally, under short timescales, for a single aim on the same day, the Twestival hopes to bring awareness to this global crisis.
The Cleveland Twestival will be held at Harry Buffalo, Thursday, February 12 at 6:00 p.m. Tickets are just $15 and can be purchased at the door or ahead of time here. There will be a lot of interesting people, a raffle and an opportunity to enjoy a unique event while benefiting those who do not have the fortune of clean water on a daily basis (can you even imagine?!?)
If you are interested in this event please purchase tickets to attend or make a donation. Every little bit helps.
Please contact me with any questions at 612-308-0759 or via email.
Thank you!
