K2 Refresh Raises $4,426.14 for Clean Water!

During World Water Week, we wrote about students from K2 the Church who participated in an event called "Refresh."  This event helped raised money for 3for5’s latest water project in Nigeria.

Highlights included packing thousands of meals for Kids Against Hunger to feed people in the Philippines; visiting a fellow student in the hospital; fasting and praying for people without clean water; and making a 4,100+ link paper-chain as a tangible reminder of the number of children who will die in a single day from diseases caused by dirty water.

Overall, the K2 students helped raised $4,426.14 for clean water!  Vertical students and leaders: thank you for your sacrifice and inspiration!

Students from K2 the Church “Refresh” for Clean Water

Youth from K2 the Church in Salt Lake City, UT will gather for “Refresh,” an event taking place on March 25-26 that will raise awareness and money to provide safe water to children and their families in the developing world. Sacrificing time, effort, and appetite, students will fast for 25 hours and 35 minutes in order to focus on the global water cause and on serving their local community. They hope to raise at least $2,900 in pledges and donations for 3for5 to be used toward providing water, sanitation, and hygiene education for 1,573 kids and their community in Umuaka, Imo State, Nigeria.

Additionally, a private donor has committed to match any donations connected to "Refresh" up to $2900!

Online tax-deductible donations in support of the students’ “Refresh” efforts can be made at 3for5.org - simply add the word “Refresh” after your last name in the registration process (e.g. First Name: ‘Susan’... Last Name: ‘Jones Refresh’). Or, you can add the word "Refresh" as your affiliation in your 3for5 profile.
