Help Fund a Water Project

Together, we can unlock potential in a developing community by providing clean, safe water.
Fundraiser

A mud volleyball tournament was chosen as a way to raise money for The
Water Project, because it will be an entertaining and unique way for the
students at Western Michigan University and the surrounding community members
to get involved with each other while contributing to a great cause.

Mud volleyball tournaments have become increasingly popular over the
past few years. Like a traditional game
of volleyball, there are a number of teams, six players each, competing in a
bracket style tournament. The difference
between the two is the added element of water. 
The ground for the court is rototilled and thoroughly hosed downed
during the days leading up to the event to make thick mud, which allows for a
difficult but comical game of volleyball.

We chose to organize a mud volleyball tournament instead of just a
traditional volleyball tournament because we believed “getting dirty to get
clean” would be an exciting way to raise money for The Water Project. And who doesn’t like getting a little dirty
every now and then?

Why It Matters

Access to clean, safe water unlocks potential

Did you know nearly 1 billion people don't have safe water to drink?

Together, we can change that. Let's fund a new source of drinking water for those who suffer needlessly without it!

Our gifts will be used to construct or rehabilitate a water project, like a well or sand dam, in Africa. We'll see pictures, GPS coordinates, and updates as they come in from the actual water project we fund so we can celebrate the results along with the community we help.


About The Water Project
