charity: cocktails @ CarbonNYC


In NYC it's easy to take water for granted. But that is not the case in much of the world. charity: water was founded to create and fund potable water projects and wells around the world. And they've done great work especially in Haiti recently. Speaking of which, check out this video they made about their efforts there. Wow! If that does not make you feel fortunate, I dont know what will.

So, what better way to show your gratitude for our abundance of clean water in NYC and America then to gather for some cocktails, art and music in a creative, exclusive and exciting space: Carbon NYC - an elite private club in Manhattan. Learn more about Carbon NYC here in a story about it (and other private clubs) in the city.

Tickets are $250 each (a bit pricey but maybe not for NYC standards and definitely in line with Carbon NYC's private club status) and it serves an amazing cause. So, belly up!

The event is presented beautifully here and offers a nice mix of features. Mixologist Alex Ott will be presenting his signature cocktails. charity: water founder Scott Harrison will be speaking and presenting a multi media installation. Tunes will flow from Naga Group and DJ Lee Kalt. Sponsors include Maxim Magazine, Blue Star Jets and Ultimat Vodka.

Can't make it? Can't afford it? You can always donate to charity: water here in a way that is more in line with your budget.

As always, feel free to send me interesting events for me to consider posting. If you'd like to know what kinds of events I am looking for read the following white papers, posted on my blog: (1) What is an Event (2) Got an Event? This blog DOES NOT feature other kinds of GATHERING S such as "promotions", "spectacles", "performances", "attractions", "sporting events", "private events", "recurring club nights" or things that are strictly "parties". There are plenty of other places for people to find that information.
