Why UQuest is fundraising for clean water

There are 800 million people in the world living without access to clean water. Let's change that!

During promotions we challenge people to carry the 40lbs Jerry Can. One lady picked up two Jerry Cans and took off. When she returned, she simply said, "I just wanted to see if I could still do it." She stated that she was from Africa and she used to carry these every day. Needless to say, the UQuest team was astonished.

UQuest is donating a portion of the proceeds to Charity Water. We also ask each participant to donate or have their friends and family sponsor their team with a donation for the UQuest Atlanta campaign. Help us meet and exceed our goal of $1000! Donations can be $1, $5, or more. Everything helps and goes directly to Charity Water.

One of the many challenges at UQuest will be "Hydrate the World" where you carry the 40lbs Jerry Can. See her pic above. We hope this will raise awareness of what people do everyday to have drinking water.

Imagine if you had no clean water. Imagine walking hours to the nearest river to collect water for your family -- water that’s not even clean. Imagine giving that water to your children. While this might seem unimaginable to us, it's a reality for 800 million people in developing countries.

100% -- yes 100% of the money we raise will go directly water project costs, funding long-lasting clean water solutions for people in need. When the projects are finished, Charity Water will show us the exact communities we've helped using photos and GPS coordinates.

Please join us and help give clean water!
