Running Water 5k is virtual July 19-31
The Running Water virtual 5k — Every Drop Counts, sponsored by Jarrett — will be held July 19-31 with 100% of the proceeds going directly to charity to fund projects for communities to receive fresh water.
After attending the Inc. 5000 conference in 2018 and hearing the impactful story of charity: water, Michael and Diane Jarrett donated, on behalf of Orrville-based Jarrett Companies, the funds for the installation of a new well to serve the people of Uganda. The well was completed in September 2020 and is currently bringing clean water to nearly 400 people.
There are still over 785 million people living without clean water — nearly one in 10 people worldwide. When a community receives access to clean water, it improves health, increases access to food, grows local economies and helps kids spend more time in school.
