We still have space at our first annual Water 1st Beer 2nd event in San Francisco at Fort Mason Center tonight at 7 pm.
No need to RSVP. We’ll happily sell you a $35 ticket at the door. Have a locally-brewed beer (or root beer) and dinner with us, view photographs by San Francisco photographer and Water 1st board member, Dan Won, and save lives by supporting safe water and sanitation projects for the world’s poor.
Hope to see you tonight! More details here.
The Water 1st – Beer 2nd Fun(d)raiser raised $45,000 last night, with over 600 people attending! That’s double our attendance and $15,000 more than we raised last year!
Thank you to Water 1st supporters for spreading the word and helping make this event the best yet!
