Poker Night for Clean Water

Hello all!

We just returned from a great trip to Los Angeles and San Diego. We were busy with meetings, hanging out with old friends and making new ones! There is a rush of momentum that is building and we can feel it literally getting ready to explode.

It's been truly inspiring to see both the excitement and creativity coming from people as they learn more about Know.Think.Act. We're starting to see more and more Allies and Action Groups spring up daily!

One Action Group that just formed, CCC San Diego Poker, held a Poker Tournament our last night in town to raise money for a spring box well in Buronzi, Uganda. Matt & Mikala Hubbard started the group and held the tournament in downtown San Diego at The Lounge.








Everyone had a great time and they raised $450 for the well! Only $50 to go and the project will be completely funded!

We were so inspired by this group. They are planning on having more tournaments in the future and we cannot wait to see what other ideas they come up with.

More and more stories like this one are springing up all over the country. What will YOUR story be?
