Consider making your birthday matter this year. Give up the gifts and ask for your age in dollars to donate to “Charity Water!” 100% of your donation will directly fun water project costs in developing nations. Use the mycharity: water website to create a fundraising campaign and start collecting donations. In 18 months, donors can see the photos of the project they helped fund. Our girls 2nd birthday is in January and this year we’re going to be asking friends & family to donate to this charity in their name versus wrapping up adorable clothes and toys. We already have a “plastic explosion” of toys at our house. Our family is super excited to host a Charity Water campaign for the girl’s second birthday and make a difference. We’ll put keepsakes from this campaign in their scrapbooks and have a story to tell them when they get older. We wanted to share this opportunity with you for consideration for your own birthday, your child’s birthday, or even a sports even fundraiser or special occasion. It’s a great program! {http://mycharitywater.org/LexieKenzie2}
You may already be familiar with this charity from Rachel Beckworth’s 9th Birthday Wish Story that has been in the news. She raised over $1 million from her story and unfortunate passing. She was an inspiration to our family and will be forever remembered. {http://www.mycharitywater.org/p/campaign?campaign_id=16396}
