Successful Water.org Campaign! November 20, 2011

Hats off to Anna Solomon for a very successful community service project!!  Anna's goal was to raise awareness and money to help her favorite charity, Water.Org (founded by Matt Damon).  During each Urinetown performance, Anna took a few minutes at intermission to talk to the audience about the real struggle facing many in the world today, for fresh water and sanitation.  Anna raised $600!!  In addition, another high school who is going to performing Urinetown in the near future approached Anna, and are interested in the same project for their school!  Congratulations to Anna and her project!
