Here is a note I received from Marquita (intern for Athletes in Action who headed up the 48Hr Workout):
"Good Morning,Just wanted to inform you that we raised $2652 dollars for the 1000 wells project.This will make an amazing difference to a community in Africa which currently walks 6-8 miles for a bucket of dirty, disease infected water, who will now have a clean water well dug right in their town. This is a 6-12 month project of building a well, but as communities receive clean water, blood: water mission will post a profile on their website of the organization or school that fully funded the wells construction. The cost for a well ranges from $1,500-$5,000 dollars for rural hand pump wells, so we are in great shape for our donation, with a general cost of $3,000.Also, please email me back with any comments about the event and what could be improved for the possibility of doing this again next year.Thanks again!!Marquita TaylorAthletes in Action InternMarquita.Taylor@aia.comwww.bloodwatermission.com"
To everyone who came by and got a mini practice in: GOOD WORK, FOLKS!! It was wonderful that we were given the opportunity to help out other clubs and give back this year while still reaching our own goals (This event, the Kids Try-athlon, etc)! We've had a great year, TRICATS! You Rock!!! =)
See you at the Banquet!
