Walk for Water participants will walk one


mile in order to represent what women and
children in developing countries are doing dai-
ly to access water that is not even
clean. Given buckets, individuals and teams
will walk half of the mile, fill their buckets up
with dirty water from the reflection pond, and return to underneath library bridge, finishing
the one-mile walk. Water Mission, a non-profit focused on engineering solutions to fight the
global water crisis, will bring their treatment system for participants to dump their dirty water
into, so that it will come out clean.

This will be a night with fun trivia questions, including categories relevant to the global water
crisis. There will be a free ice cream bar and prizes for the winners. There is a suggested
$1/ person donation to play trivia and any money raised will go towards the Walk
for Water event and water related international development.
