There are 748 million people in the world living without access to clean water. Let's change that!

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

We are lucky enough to attend Pace University and have access to clean water at all times.

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, 1,400 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand Filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

In honor of the founder of Pace University, Homer Pace we pledge in lieu of gifts for his 136th birthday we will give donations.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me. Pace University believed in this cause and wants to make a difference.

Please donate to Pace University's campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
