Hey folks,

Birthdays are overrated, especially #27.

With that in mind, let's celebrate me with charity.

Love you all!

I've decided to make this more interesting by adding some rewards based on the amount you give:

$1 - $27 - Thanks! Personalized text, Facebook message or twitter mention

$27 - $50 - Nice! You will receive a phone call from yours truly to say thank you (feel free to send to voicemail).

$50 - $100 - OMG! If you come to NY, I will buy you a coffee or fancy cocktail of your choosing!

$100 - $500 - Damn! If you come to NYC, I will buy you dinner at any ramen shop!

$500 - $1,000 - WOW! If you come to NY, you can pick the restaurant and I will buy you a fancy cocktail, dinner and desert!

$1,000 - $10,000 - Holy moly! I will personally travel to where you live in the next 18 months and will treat you to a full day of all expenses food/fun/activities (if you let me sleep on your couch)!

$10,000 - $999,999.99 - DMs are open.

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!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. 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.

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.

Please donate to my 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.
