Thanks to all who attended and contributed to making EWB-MAP's 2nd Annual Fall Fundraiser on September 29 a success! We raised a net amount of nearly $6,000, all of which will go towards our continuing water and sanitation projects!
A special thanks to Fairmount Water Works for graciously hosting the event, and our sponsors who helped cover the food, beverage, and overhead costs for our event!
