ChemClubs Join Coins for Clean Water Initiative

More children die from a lack of clean drinking water than from HIV/AIDS and Malaria combined. To help provide water to those in need, ACS has partnered with Procter & Gamble (P&G) to purchase water purifier packets that, for 10 cents, can treat 10 liters of water.

Now you can help, too! The ACS ChemClub is joining the ACS Coins for Cleaner Water Initiative to raise $5,000 by May 2013 to purchase water purifier packets. That is less than $10 per club!

The packets are being distributed through the Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) foundation.

Checks or money orders (do not mail cash) should be made payable to and mailed to:

American Chemical Society
Attn: Development Office
1155 Sixteenth Street, NW
Washington, DC 20036

Please indicate that the check or money order is for the Coins for Cleaner Water project and notify us about your donation by emailing hschemclubs@acs.org.

All donations are tax deductible, and receipts will be issued to donors who pay by check or money order. For more information about obtaining individual receipts, email outreach@acs.org.
