Hey everyone,
So I am going to be hosting a fundraising event for The Water Project, a non-profit organization that drills water wells in Africa. I am hoping that through a love of the arts, I can build awareness in my commuity of Grande Prairie, as well as raise $6,500 to drill at one complete water well in Kenya. It will provide clean, safe drinking water for up to 500 people. What an amazing gift we can give! NOTHING CAN LIVE WITHOUT WATER and right now 1 in 8 people world wide do not have access to safe drinking water.
The event will be held at Tito's Bistro & Cafe, September 24 from 6-9pm. My art will be showcased again there for the month of September, so that night I will be donating 50% of all my sales to the water project. There will also be a silent auction full of amazing donations, 50/50, balloon pop games, live entertainment, and food with wine. Tickets are $20. The facebook link is:

I have been wanting to plan an event as well, to raise awareness and money for the global water crisis, specifically in Africa right now. The Horn of Africa is experiencing the worst drought in 60 years! So I spoke with Mazen, the owner of Tito's, and collaberatively we are are going to host this event in September...date to come. I am now looking for any artists, photographers, and business's who would like to help out and donate an item for the silent auction, sponsor the event, or just make a personal donation. It costs roughly $4,500-$6,500 to drill water well that would provide safe water to 200-500 people. Please email me at megolson81@gmail.com if you would love to help! There will be local entertainment, silent auction, local artists and photographers, and good food!
