AWF Launches T-Shirt Contest for 'Build A Well'
Our friends at the African Well Fund were kind enough to pass us along the following press release.
Schenectady, NY February 3rd, 2006 - The African Well Fund is excited to announce a t-shirt design contest to help promote our 4th annual “Build a Well for Bono’s Birthday” fundraising campaign. Tagged Design4 : BBW4, the contest requests entrants to design a t-shirt for this year’s fundraiser. The contest runs from February 3 to March 15, 2006. The winning design will be announced on March 22nd, World Water Day and the kickoff of our Annual Birthday Well drive.
The African Well Fund is seeking a design that captures our mission, our commitment to the ideal that access to clean water is a basic human right, and also the spirit of Bono’s activism on behalf of Africa, particularly his ability to inspire others to action. For more contest details please visit our webpage: http://africanwellfund.org/D4-BBW4.html. The winning design will be used on t-shirts and other items that will be sold through Café Press. All proceeds from these sales will benefit the Birthday Well fundraiser. A T-shirt with the winning design will be sent to Bono along with the donation totals at the conclusion of the fundraiser.
This year’s fundraiser marks the fourth year that U2 fans have come together to donate money in honor of Bono’s birthday on May 10th. The birthday fundraisers have raised a total of more than $50,000 and have been used to fund over 40 clean water projects in Uganda, Ethiopia, and Angola.
The African Well Fund is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was founded by a group of U2 fans in late 2002. Since that time AWF has raised over $145,000, including more than $50,000 in 2005 alone. Proceeds from the African Well Fund are donated to Africare’s water projects in Africa. Africare is one of the leading private, non - profit charitable U.S. organizations assisting Africa. For more information please visit www.africare.org. The African Well Fund was founded to focus on one achievable goal: providing access to clean water. The African Well Fund believes that access to clean water is not merely a basic human need but a basic human right.
