FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Naples, FL — May 1, 2025 — In celebration of National Water Quality Month this August, Hope for Haiti is proud to announce the launch of Buckets of Hope, a nationwide fundraising campaign supporting the organization’s critical WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene) program in southern Haiti.
Buckets of Hope invites schools, churches, businesses, clubs, sports teams, hospitals, restaurants, and individuals across the U.S. to make a tangible difference by filling a branded “Bucket of Hope” with donations throughout August and September.
“Access to clean water is one of the most urgent needs in the communities we serve,” said Skyler Badenoch, Hope for Haiti CEO. “Buckets of Hope empowers people everywhere to be part of the solution in a simple, meaningful, and community-driven way.”
How It Works:
- Participants register online to receive a branded fundraising bucket or a sticker to put on their own bucket.
- Buckets are shipped directly to participants, who then engage their networks—friends, family, neighbors, teams, and coworkers—to fill the bucket with donations during August and September. Donations can be in the form of cash, check, or via credit card through the team’s fundraising page.
- In early October, mail in a check equal to your total or donate it through the Buckets of Hope website.
- All funds raised will go directly to Hope for Haiti’s ’s WASH program, which provides access to safe drinking water, improved sanitation, and hygiene education in vulnerable Haitian communities.
- Top fundraising teams and individuals will be recognized and awarded prizes for their outstanding efforts. Stayed tuned for details!
A custom campaign website will provide a central hub for registration, fundraising tips, impact stories, and tracking progress throughout the month.
