The Luxury of Water
Water is essential. Even our bodies are mostly water. Without water, we cease to exist. You and I are lucky. We’ve been born in a place where clean water is available everywhere. It’s all around us. It’s not expensive. We have so much of it that we water our lawns with it. We wash our cars with it. We even use it to transport our disposed waste. With clean water in such abundance, it is hard to imagine our lives without it.
Unfortunately, millions of people around the globe do not have access to clean water. Many people have to walk for miles to get water. More often than not, the water they get is dirty. 1,700,000 people die each year from dirty water – more than all forms of violence combined.
At the Gary Lipman Initiative, our mission is to provide local access to clean water. We are raising money to drill water wells in villages that need access to clean water. The benefits begin immediately. Lower infant mortality. Better health. Less time spent travelling to get water. More time for school. It is amazing to see what happens to a village that gets a clean water well.
We hope that you will join us as we partner with World Hope International to dig water wells in Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe. By participating in one of our events, volunteering or making a donation, you are helping us provide the luxury of water to those who need it the most.
We’ve got an easy way for you to help us provide clean water
On September 27, the Gary Lipman Golf Scramble will tee off at the Heritage Golf Ranch for a fun filled round of golf. Breakfast before and lunch after the round are included for all players.
We’re using a shotgun start and all teams will be using our “Handicap by String” format. All our players are automatically entered in 9 contests All Player Contests to add more excitement to the round.
To help get a leg up on the competition, each player may purchase a Super Ticket that includes several “move up” advantages and the Golf Ball Launcher. Each player can also purchase individual mulligans or a bundle of 4. Super Ticket Items & Mulligans
As in past years, the proceeds from the day will be used to provide water wells to villages in West Africa through our partnership with World Hope International. Additionally, we have an anonymous donor who will match our donation. This means that every dollar you donate becomes $2.
To help you picture our venue, check out The Holes of Heritage Ranch.
After looking it all over, we hope that you will get registered so that you can join us on September 27.
