A collaboration between CELF's Student Ambassadors and Pace University, the Walk will raise awareness of the global water crisis and raise funds to provide LifeStraw® Community filters to schools in need.
Join us as we simulate the trek that many women and girls around the world make each day to collect water. With just a little bit of time and energy, you can provide more people around the world access to safe drinking water and make a difference!
Raised $3,175 which provided 9 Community Life Straws to be donated!
