Charity: Water

1.1 billion people do not have access to clean drinking water on our planet. To make this number hit a little closer to home; that is 1 in 6 people that do not have access to clean water. Most of us don't think twice about using, drinking and wasting water.
Last night, February 11th, As Good As Its Guests attended the Valentine's Day Charity:Water event. The fundraiser aimed to raise money and awareness for this great cause. The event, hosted by CCScene's Chloe Cohen, was held at Midtown West's rooftop venue, HighBar. The red carpet entrance was lined with yellow fuel containers. The containers represented those that carry the water, that families in Africa dig through the sand to find. 
Guests were able to mingle both inside and outside on the rooftop. We enjoyed the picturesque views of Manhattan and an open bar of sparkling wine and vodka. Mini cupcakes, candy and bottled water adorned the bar and the mood was set by dim lighting and pink votive candles.
 DJ Luv Nasty and Cindy Kim spent the evening playing hits from the comfort of the venue's VIP Lounge area. A silent auction was held throughout the night to raise additional money for Charity:Water. The auction consisted of gorgeous jewelry, signed sports memorabilia and awesome artwork. The guest list was full of colorful characters and eclectic personalities that joined together for the same wonderful cause. We would have loved to have had the chance to speak with the organizers of the event but their red carpet step and repeats were..well, rather repetitive. If you would like to get involved with Charity: Water, please visit http://www.charitywater.org/. 100% of Charity: Water's proceeds go to the funding of clean water solutions and for a donation of just $20, you could provide clean drinking water to one person in Africa for one year.
