MY Water Project

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:
