PNWS Gives Back

The Pacific Northwest Section takes considerable amount of pride in the amount of dollars raised annually by its members. At the 2018 PNWS-AWWA Section Conference we will be raising funds for two charities.

Water For People

Water For People an organization devoted to providing clean drinking water for peoples in third world countries is a charity near and dear to the heart of our Section members who have donated in excess of 1 million dollars since its inception. Throughout the conference you will see opportunities to help raise funds for WFP, examples include – buying mulligans at the golf tournament, contributing and bidding on the Silent Auction items. Last year opportunities like these helped the PNWS raise over $139,000 for Water For People.

We are looking for Silent Auction items! To help us plan please click this link and tell us what you are bringing to the auction.

Education and Training Fund

The Education and Training Fund, which endows our Section’s scholarship program, has grown thanks to the generosity of our members to almost $800,000. These funds will provide $27,000 in college scholarships this year to students who are pursuing careers in the drinking water industry. Stop by the Education and Training Fund booth to find out more about this great program which has provided $400,000 in scholarships over the years. Your tax deductible donations can help provide much-needed funds to worthy college students entering the water works profession.
