River Bennett — Our Water Hero
River with PlayPumps International CEO Dale Jones
and Board Chair Jean Case
River Bennett, a high school student from Nantucket, MA is known throughout his community for his philanthropic efforts. He is also famous in the PlayPumps community -- in March, he was given our “Hero Award” for his efforts to bring clean drinking water to those in need. By working with local businesses and community groups, as well as organizing a swimathon at his high school, River is helping people connect with water issues at home, and in turn helping Africans access clean drinking water. Just last month, after a year long effort, River surpassed his goal and successfully raised enough money for a PlayPump water system. River says about his huge milestone, “I'm ready to get started on the next one!” We are all inspired by River’s commitment to those in need.
