Fundraiser Overview                   

Hello, my name is Cameron Goodman, and I am in the Legal Studies Academy (LSA) at First Colonial High School in Virginia Beach, Va.  Every LSA Senior is assigned a Senior Project to address and raise awareness about a current global issue.  For my project, I chose to examine the Global Water Crisis and access to clean water.  To raise awareness in my local community and beyond, I am organizing a “Surf-A-Thon” fundraiser, and I have set a goal to raise $1,000 to benefit Waves For Water.  As a surfer, I have grown up around the ocean and have immense respect for the water that is readily accessible to my community.  It has also made me grateful for the clean water we have because I know millions around the world don’t have access to clean water.  Because of my passion for surfing, I thought what a better way to raise awareness for global clean water scarcity than to set a few days where people can mindfully go surf and have fun in the name of an amazing cause. 

From Monday, May 17 - Friday, May 21, The Surf-A-Thon is officially ON!  I encourage you to…

1.	Grab a friend and go surfing in support of clean water for all across the globe!   

2.	Once you are finished with your official Surf-A-Thon “surf-sesh” snag a picture of yourself at the beach with your surfboard and send it to my email at camgood@icloud.com.  Feel free to also include a little bit about yourself and your experience.  If you include your address I will send you a sticker as a thank you.

3.	The last and most impactful step of the Surf-A-Thon is to donate to Waves for Water via my fundraiser page on the Waves For Water website.  Remember my goal is to raise $1,000 - no amount is too small! $50 supplies 1 water filter that provides water for 100 people per day for 5+ years!

4.	You can get your family and friends to sponsor you for the Surf-A-Thon as well as a donor. This could consist of asking people to donate a certain amount per wave that you ride during your Surf session!

Thank you so much for your support!  

I will keep the Fundraiser open past my Surf-A-Thon dates to maximize the donations for Waves For Water because I dream of a world where everyone has access to clean water!


Surf To Quench The Thirst

Clean Water and Sanitation, or Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), ensures the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.

According to water.org, nearly 5 million people in the Philippines rely on unsafe and unsustainable water sources and 9 million lack access to improved sanitation.

This fundraiser will help Filipinos access safe drinking water and proper sanitation facilities essential to health and wellness.

Access to Safe Drinking Water For All 

CWC-AKASH SANGHERA

Dear friends and family, with Christmas around the corner, instead of gifts, I am accepting donations for Waves for Water. 

Waves for water has a portable water filtration system that they are sending out to areas affected by Typhoons Rolly and Ulysses. Instead of plastic water bottles, their MVP Point One filter can provide more clean water supply to more people (life-span capacity of 3 million liters). It's a win-win-win situation (clean water - clean water for a long time - no plastic waste)!

I'm trying to raise enough for 3 filtration systems. Thank you in advance for your help :)

International Day of the Girl 2020

Waves For Water Philippines’ Help the Helpers Campaign is for the benefit of non-medical frontliners—farmers, fishermen, market vendors, maintenance and sanitation personnel, and other key workers from underserved communities throughout the Philippines.

With clean water and good hygiene still remaining to be the primary mode of prevention for COVID-19, the goal is to help provide three basic needs—clean water systems + jerry cans for storage, hygiene kits, and food packs. A water bill subsidy initiative has also been added to allow families to allocate limited resources into buying the basic needs such as food and medicin
