In celebration of World Water Day, the Surfrider Foundation will offer a special membership package and donation drive. For one day only, on Thursday March 22, Surfrider supporters will receive a limited edition World Water Day t-shirt when they join, renew their membership or make a donation to the foundation.

The foundation will also offer a limited number of “premium” World Water Day membership packages. When the first 100 people join or renew their membership at the $100 level, they will get the World Water Day T-shirt and a pair of Teva’s new Fuse-ion shoes featuring the unique Spider-rubber and JStep outsole and ion-mask.

“From whitewater to surf, the Teva brand is synonymous with water,” said Matt McClain, Surfrider Foundation’s director of marketing & communications. “We could not be more excited to be partnered with them for World Water Day.”

Another way to give back to water systems is through Teva’s World Water Day challenge. Teva is launching a challenge for all participants to give up water in one area of their lives during the day. Supporters can participate and build awareness of water cleanliness by simply not taking showers, not brushing their teeth, not doing their laundry or cooking without water. Teva also calls on Surfrider members to complete water “fix it” problems during the day such as checking faucets and pipes for leaks, sweeping driveways and sidewalks and taking shorter showers. To show support via the web, clean water enthusiasts can choose from various specially designed social media cover photos and pinable posters that are now available via Teva’s Facebook page and blog.

“Teva has a long standing passion for clean water, the source of both life and our recreation,” said Will Pennartz, Teva lifestyle marketing manager. “It is our responsibility to help in the protection of these playgrounds for future generations. Through the World Water Day challenge we hope we can inspire a larger community to join us as we raise awareness for clean water.”

Also occurring this Thursday is the announcement of the three-second movie competition winners. Contestants were given one month to create a three-second water-themed video to help spread the word about World Water Day and the need to improve water quality.

World Water Day, implemented by the United Nations in 1993, is a global cause focusing on the sustainable management of the world’s water resources. The Surfrider Foundation celebrates World Water Day to educate and build awareness and support for its numerous clean water campaigns and initiatives.
