Tips and Tricks
Choose a comfortable setting where your friends and family can sit back, relax and learn!
Have you ever watched a movie without popcorn? I wouldn’t recommend it. So don’t forget about snacks!
Tell your audience what you liked most about The Journey and why you want to share it with them.
Provide facts about the water crisis and let your guests know where they can learn more.
If you’re hosting it as part of your fundraising campaign, make sure everyone knows where they can contribute.
You can also host a screening of The Spring Film. This is a 20 minute film about the history of charity: water, showing our founder, Scott Harrison, on his journey from New York City
night club promoter to leader in the non-profit sector.
