Walk for the Water Saturday, April 28, 2012 This spring, A Legacy of Giving is partnering with Gilbert Tuhabonye and the Gazelle Foundation for Austin’s first Walk for the Water. This event will not only fund the construction of a complete clean water system for the Songa region of Burundi, Africa but serves as a unifying celebration for all Legacy teachers, staff and students with their families for their incredible accomplishment of raising the funds. Together we will walk a 3.7 mile course, the average distance a person in the developing world must walk to find drinking water. For exciting sponsorship opportunities, please contact Linda Brucker at lbrucker@alegacyofgiving.org or (512) 480-9352. For more information on Walk for the Water, visit: www.walkforthewater.com. |
