Why Bridger Anderson is fundraising for clean water

Every day, 1,400 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. I want to change that!

Hi, I'm Bridger! I'm 11-years-old and in the 6th grade. This is my fifth year giving up Christmas presents in order to GIVE the gift of clean water. I've raised over $17,000 to date, and this year, my goal is to surpass $21,000!

**UPDATE** I smashed my goal for this year, so I'm raising my goal to $8,000 for this campaign and $25,000 overall! THANK YOU ALL!
**UPDATE 2* Thank you, PlantTherapy.com for your amazing, generous donation! I'm upping my goal once more! New goal: $15,000 and a $32,000 lifetime goal!
**UPDATE 3* I reached my $15,000 goal!!! I'm now going for $20,000! THANK YOU!

Christmas is a time for family, celebration and love.

It’s also a time when America spends around $500 billion on Christmas gifts. That's more than $600 per person. This Christmas, I'm taking a step back -- I want to give more than gifts that fit in boxes.

I want to give people life.

800 million people are living without clean drinking water on our planet. My mission is to give clean water for Christmas this year. 100% of every dollar I raise will go directly to water projects. And when the projects are complete, charity: water will show us GPS coordinates, photos and other details about the communities we've helped. Please join me by donating.
