Why Michigan Basketball is fundraising for clean water

Celebrate Winning by Giving! Continue the water festivities of Michigan's successful seasons by giving the gift of clean water to those who don't have it.

Earlier this year, the basketball team set a U of M record with 33 Wins. You may recall, the team celebrated several of those victories with water in the locker room. Water for the Win! Coincidentally, it takes about $33 to gift one person water.

As we wrap up 2018, would you consider giving $33 in honor of the Team's 33 Wins? Or $20 for the Team's back to back Big 10 Tournament Titles (2x10)? Give ANY amount, and pass the challenge to give on to a few friends. (*Donations are tax deductible.)

Help dig a well in Africa or perhaps assist with a water project in India, 100% of your donation will go directly toward bringing a community clean water in honor of Michigan Basketball. GPS coordinates along with photos will be provided once our Go Blue! water project has been completed. (*Charity: water received a top rating by charity navigator.)

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.

Let's rally in celebration of the Teams' success by bringing life-giving water to those who need it. Go Blue!!!
