Dow Chemicals will be hosting "The Dow Live Earth Run for Water" event in Atlanta this Sunday, April 18th. It should be a really fun time with a series of 6K run/walks occurring over the course of 24 hours. There will be live musical performances featuring Rob Thomas and many more, as well as water educational activities.
This will be in an effort to make more people aware how hard it is to get water in some countries. The reason for the run being 6K is because this is the average distance many women and children have to travel every day to get water for themselves and their families.
Tickets for this event are between $30 and $40 for a full day and all the donations and proceeds from the event will go toward global fund raising efforts and scalable water programs such as Pump Aid and Indonesia Water Partnership.
We at thekitchenfaucet.com are strong advocates of the movement to be aware of water conservation.
