Why Mike Del Ponte is fundraising for clean water

Every year, when I give up my birthday and fundraise for charity: water, friends and family like you are incredibly generous. Thank you.

This will be the BIGGEST, MOST IMPACTFUL YEAR EVER! Every dollar donated will be matched 100%. So donate today to double your impact!

BONUS: If you help me raise $10,000 to give water to people in need, I'll go swimming in the freezing cold San Francisco Bay.

And if the incentive of forcing me to battle seals under the Golden Gate Bridge armed only with a speedo is not enough to motivate you, consider this...

Every day, 1,400 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. I know because I've traveled to Ethiopia with charity: water and seen how water saves lives and transforms communities.

100% of the money you donate will be used to build clean water projects. When those projects are complete, charity: water will send photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community you helped.

Please donate today and double your impact with a 100% donation match. THANK YOU!
