Dear [INSERT FRIEND’S NAME],

I’m [RUNNING/WALKING RACE NAME] with Team World Vision because I was shocked that 1 in 10 people lack access to clean water. For more than 703 million people, water is too far away to easily drink, bathe, cook, or clean. On World Water Day (March 22), clean water is just a CLICK away with your help!

I have a goal to bring clean water to [DIVIDE YOUR GOAL BY 50] people by raising [INSERT YOUR GOAL]. I would love for you to join me and give the gift of clean water with a donation. BONUS: There is a live $1 million World Water Day Challenge for our team nationally starting at [INSERT 6:00 am PT, 8:00 am CT, OR 9:00 am ET]. So save this date and time so we can maximize our impact as part of the challenge!

FYI: I know it may sound crazy, but I will be training until [INSERT RACE DATE]. If you want to put a pep in my step, click the monthly, recurring gift option to encourage me during my training season. A donation of any amount means we are a step closer to solving the global water crisis, which is why World Water Day was designated by the United Nations.

SAY THANKS

Use the images below to thank those who generously donate to your fundraising page. Thank your donors as they give throughout the day. Tagging each donor with an individual shout-out is such a great personal touchpoint, and helps others see how they can get involved. Then, be sure to update everyone after World Water Day with the total amount they helped you raise. Divide that number by 50 to know how many people you were able to reach with clean water!

Remember that World Water Day is a springboard to continue your season of record-breaking impact! In a few weeks, follow up with people who didn't give on World Water Day.
