Water-Right Sponsors "Denim Days for Puerto Rico's Aid"
Employees Paid to Wear Jeans During the Week
Last November, Water-Right sponsored a "Denim Days for Puerto Rico's Aid" fundraiser to aid hurricane relief. During this time, employees of Water-Right and Water-Right's Clean Water Center could pay $2 per day to wear jeans during the week instead of following the company’s normal dress code. At the end of the month, Water-Right would match the contribution collected.
Employees raised over $1,200, and with Water-Right's matched funds, the company donated $3,500 to Puerto Rico no Está Apaga’o ("Our Light Is Stronger, Puerto Rico Is Not Spiritless"). The charity organization, which is run by comedian Molusco, has a goal of bringing assistance wherever it is needed and consists of three main platforms: online donations through YouCaring.com, supply collection stations on the East Coast, and a group of volunteers who handle, ship and distribute donations. T-shirts can also be purchased on their website with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the charity. Molusco is also donating his time and talent by doing a U.S. tour and donating all the profits.
