I am happy to announce that GSP will be hosting our annual fundraiser recognizing World Water Day at Smith Commons Restaurant, 1300 H St., NE, on Wednesday, March 20^th, 2019, from 6 pm - 10:00 pm.

Join GSP and myself (BEMA International) to celebrate and enjoy live music and a silent auction.

GSP's last fundraiser raised enough money to purchase Hydraid Filters for 100 families including Albino families, People living with HIV, pregnant mothers and the elderly. 

This year, GSP hopes to surpass that number and provide for 200 households. And with your help, we can do it!

Please spread the word and invite others that would like to support our continued efforts in providing the gift of clean water for our children and their families in Tanzanian. 

Suggested donation for that evening is $50.00. If you believe in our mission and wish to help GSP achieve our fundraising goal as a member of our Host Committee, we ask that you make a 100.00 donation. 

We also have an amazing announcement to make, so stay tuned…

As you know, fundraising is the single most important activity to generate the resources needed to secure and support our clean water projects.  This is a "grassroots" effort, so we’re also having a month-long fundraising campaign from March 1 - March 31 and we are asking our friends/family/colleagues to help GSP spread the word through Facebook, Instagram, and emails. 

Below, please see other ways you can help. Together we have an extraordinary opportunity to bring children out of poverty and sickness by providing the gift of clean and safe drinking water globally.  

  

• March 22, 2019 is World Water Day - Conduct a fund-raising campaign on social media for that day
• Select 10 of your friends/family and ask them to make a donation or to match your donation
• Ask you friends/family/colleagues to participate in a fundraiser effort
• On Fridays at work have a blue jean day where everyone who wears their jeans donates $5 to GSP

• Ask your corporation for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funding to support GSP
• Donate frequent flyer miles to GSP to assist in
