During the 2 mile walk, you will have a chance to drink water that has been filtered from our Sawyer Water Filtration System, 'try' and balance a Jerry Can on your head (great photo op) and be part of a Carry The Jerry Relay Race Challenge. It's interactive, its fun, and you leave knowing that you are part of the solution. Together we can make a huge difference!

We need your help this fall. After more than five years of fighting and persistent negotiations, peace has returned to South Sudan.
With peace comes hope, and hope brings returnees to plant, build, educate and reconstruct their lives. However, there is no life without water, so we are facing an unprecedented demand for well repairs. We plan to do all we can to repair every well in South Sudan.
Here's how you can help:
Purchase a ticket to our Topgolf Alpharetta Event.
If you can't attend, you can give via the donation button on the event page.
Spread the word! Invite your neighbors, friends and family members.
Be an event sponsor making sure every dollar raised goes straight to clean water.
It will be an evening full of fun, challenges, and new experiences as you test your skills during the TopContender Team Tournament, or as you take a chance at winning the $10,000 Hole-In-One cash prize. There are prizes for both the winning and losing teams (you can lose and still win-what a deal).
When it comes to the game itself, players hit micro-chipped golf balls that track each shot’s accuracy and distance while awarding points for hitting targets on the outfield. Whether you’re an aspiring golf pro or picking up a club for the first time, Topgolf is everyone’s game. It’s fun. It’s competitive.
Buy your tickets now for a team of six (6) or as an individual contender (we will place you on a team), and while you are at it go ahead and buy your Hole-In-One tickets for only $10 per ticket (you get one shot per ticket at the $10,000 cash prize) and get ready to help us prepare for the next 10 years of Nation Building.
PLEASE NOTE: This event is at the Alpharetta location and NOT the Atlanta location for Topgolf.

Photo Exhibit & Independent Film Screening In Support of Water is Basic
The nation of South Sudan is the newest nation on earth, it also is the must broken and is climbing out of the deep pit of their latest civil war.
With women walking on average 5 miles to collect water, Water is Basic is committed to giving every person in South Sudan access to clean water. Raising awareness and funds, they focus on building local teams of South Sudanese. It is a local solution to a local problem.
Events like this one, bring hearts and minds together to provide funding for this crucial work. Your ticket price will purchase hope for more than 50 people by providing a Sawyer Water Filter, bucket and training. A Sawyer filter eliminates 99.999% of the stuff in dirty water that kills.
It's simple, a filter is life.
We have a simple equation.
Meat (+ Whiskey/Beer + Cigars + Rooftop of Granada) = Water
Those who like good company as much as a good cause are welcome.Tickets are $99.
Yes it really is that simple.
So join us Thursday, March 31st, from 6-9pm on the rooftop of Sundown at Granada!
