The $5000 Ping Pong Match

I spend over $5 a day at Starbucks when I can drink water for free. When I heard that there are 1 billion people who don't have access to clean water I decided to skip my coffee today and give the cost of that one drink to build a well. Think about if you gave the cost of your coffee today, tomorrow, or even for the entire week? Imagine the difference we could make by giving up something that we don't even need.

So today, faster than you could walk to Starbucks and wait for your drink, give the cost your drink to help build a well that will provide clean drinking water to an entire village for 20 years.

Every single person who gives to this campaign will be able to see the actual well we build on Google Earth. Just imagine, a day without coffee can save a life somewhere else in the world. That's incredible. Help spread the love to all of your friends. It isn't about personally knowing everyone who is donating to build this well, rather it is about coming together as a group to do something great.

If you are on twitter use the hashtag #skipmycoffee.

How many people can you find to skip their coffee today and come together for an amazing cause?

BONUS: When we get to $5000, Scott Harrison, the founder of this wonderful organization charity: water, has agreed to play me in a ping pong match in NYC for bragging rights. Ustream.com is going to broadcast the event live online so you can help root for the cause that you helped create, all by just giving up one drink.

Here is what Scott has to say:
"I bet you wouldn't even get 10 points, but love your challenge. The match is yours for 5K."

I Thank You, Truly,
