Words to Water Benefit Concert Series — Sponsor Partnership Guide
February 18, 2026 | Member Submitted
As promised, I am attaching the sponsorship opportunities for the two “Words to Water” concerts this May at Inclines Center for Events (inside Bowl Incline)!
Our Family started WaterHope 21 years ago as a response to a promise we made to God 23 years ago! For many years, we put on a pro-am golf tournament, “Wine to Water,” in Napa, California, that had 26 PGA professionals, and many Fortune 500 companies supported, helping us raise over 3 million dollars to provide water solutions in our world for children who were dying from their current water sources. Parasitic water is the number one cause of child mortality in the world.
Approximately 1,000 children under the age of five die every day from diseases caused by unsafe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). This translates to one child dying roughly every 90 seconds.
Key Statistics on Childhood Mortality
- Annual Deaths: Around 400,000 children under five die each year due to unsafe WASH services.
- Leading Cause: Diarrheal disease is the primary killer, accounting for approximately 395,000 of these annual deaths.
- Vulnerable Groups: Children in conflict-affected areas are 20 times more likely to die from diseases related to unsafe water than from direct violence.
- Regional Hotspots: Nearly two-fifths of these deaths are concentrated in just 10 countries, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa, including Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Broader Impact of Unsafe Water
- Morbidity: Beyond fatal illnesses, repeated bouts of waterborne disease lead to malnutrition and stunting, affecting nearly one-quarter of children globally.
- Education: Water-related illnesses result in the loss of over 440 million school days annually.
- Contamination Risk: As of 2024, approximately 2.2 billion people still lack access to safely managed drinking water, and 1.7 billion people use fecally contaminated sources.
As a 501c3 with no paid employees we have been able to give the lion’s share of all proceeds directly to the sustainable projects that are saving thousands of children’s lives each day.
Each show will be an intimate evening with the artists taking time to let us know why they wrote each song and how they came to be hits.
Two evenings you will never forget while you help us save children and give them a future they cannot have without us.
