Why VA Run Riptide Swim Team is fundraising for clean water

JUST. ADD. WATER.

That's all you need to do. We often take water for granted, and with our lap-a-thon we can raise money to give safe and clean drinking water to others without it. You can donate through the lap-a-thon with pledge sheets, but also through this website by sending the link to friends and family that live out-of-town.

$5000 builds a water project (a well) for a village without water. That's 250 people who's thirst will be quenched! Not only could our team help a village with out water, our team's name will be on a plaque on the actual well we fund to build. After construction is complete, we will recieve a report with the actual GPS coordinates and name of the village, and pictures of all the people we help. Just like water, the charity is truly transparent, meaning it is 100 % non-profit.

Feel free to browse the website to find out more about what, why, and how the charity works.

Water: We practically live in it, but others struggle without it. Riptide can change that.
