5k Fundraiser

Background

While a senior in high school, Brian Grasso, founded a club called Simple Charity.  Its mission was to raise $100,000 for nonprofits before graduation. Within one year, his club, full of high school seniors, raised $60,000 for the global poor.  Simple Charity chose several nonprofits to work with during their year of fundraisers. One of those nonprofits was Just One Africa. The students planned, created marketing, and implemented a 5k raising over $5,000 for clean water and the purchase of water filters for people in Kenya. 

Fundraiser Purpose

To make a change in the water crisis by raising money to purchase water filters for people in Kenya.  Each water filter costs $65 and can provide clean water for 25 people for life if maintained properly.
