On Sunday, May 17, 2009, the BRUTE LABS and Well Done teams, in collaboration with White Crane Winery, hosted an event at Medjool in San Francisco to raise awareness about the global water crisis. The money raised from the event will go directly toward the construction of a clean water well in Kamancheli, a rural village located in the Brong-Ahafo region of Ghana.
The event was an amazing success! With 152 tickets sold along with funds raised from the Water is Life t-shirt, the BRUTE LABS and Well Done teams exceeded their goal of raising $8,000 to construct a well in Kamancheli. In a single evening, we raised the resources needed to provide a long-term clean water source for an entire village! Funds raised in excess of the $8,000 goal will be used to support the next Well Done project.
Many individuals and organizations came together to make the evening such a special one. The BRUTE LABS team sold advance tickets to the event, tickets at the door, raffle tickets, and Water is Life t-shirts. White Crane Winery generously donated wine for the tastings and also 50% of all proceeds from additional wine sales throughout the evening, while Medjool donated the venue space along with appetizers for the event. We are extremely thankful for Medjool and White Crane Winery--through their generous donations, nearly every dollar of ticket sales will go directly toward providing clean water to the villagers of Kamancheli.
We have a number of specific individuals to thank who helped make the Wine to Water event such a tremendous success:
The need for clean water in Ghana persists. If you would like to contribute to the Well Done efforts in Africa, you can purchase a Water is Life t-shirt or make a donation directly to Well Done. Thank you again for your ongoing support. We are humbled by such a strong showing at Wine to Water in support of the pressing work to bring clean water to those without access to this critical resource. You are the reason groups like ours can make an impact. Thank you!
