5050 Connection raises $1000 for Water 1st

In support of World Water Day 2009, on Friday April 17th, 2009, Jonathan Pierre and Steven Thomas co-founders of 5050 Connection, hosted an art exhibition fundraiser entitled Water Unites Us: A Call for Humanitarianism via Artistic Expression. As a result, 5050connection has made a donation of $1000 to Water 1st International.

This exhibition, curated by Shante Cozier, explored the work of artists who are using a visual medium to help raise awareness of the world water crisis that affects our planet. Various New York artists have created original pieces that directly reflect their artistic perspective on how vital water is to human existence and on the global water crisis.

5050connection is a non-profit organization who's mission is to use the arts and entertainment as a catalyst for raising money and awareness for social and humanitarian causes.
