H2o6:Fresh Water, from Rain City to the Nations
Local Hop Hop artists and Central District community members unite in
the name of clean water.
H2o6 Birthday Benefit for charity:water
Sunday, March 13th, 5pm-10pm
Washington Hall (153 14th Ave)
100% of proceeds go directly to charity:water (www.charitywater.org)
a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to
people in developing nations.

Seattle Hip Hop community organizations, 206Zulu, B-Girl Bench, and
Ladies First Collective combine forces in the name of a vital, but
overlooked cause--clean water. The celebration, fittingly titled,
“H2o6” is billed as a concert, breakdance jam, and bash for local MC/B-
girl, BeLoved1, as well as all March birthdays. Included in the course
of the night are over nine live Hip Hop acts, three deejays, open mic,
breakdancing showcases, and open dance floor. Featured artists
include: Dirty Scientifix, Yirim Seck, Julie C, Suntonio Bandanaz,
Sista Hailstorm, BangBang, Delton-Son, Tyrone, Saturday Morning
Cartoon, and DJ’s Sureal, Cues, and OC Notes. The night is hosted by
Jace of Black Stax, and B-Boy Orbitron. Featured breakdance crews
include Circle of Fire, Fraggle Rock Crew, BYC, and North City
Rockers. In addition, delicious food is provided by Seattle
Community Kitchen volunteers. The event is family-friendly and all-
ages. Donations will be taken at the door, and throughout the night.

About the Issue: Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80%
of diseases and kill more people every year than all forms of
violence, including war. Children are especially vulnerable, as their
bodies aren't strong enough to fight diarrhea, dysentery and other
illnesses. 4,500 children die each day from diseases caused by a lack
of safe drinking water and proper sanitation. $20 provides one person
with access to clean drinking water. The advantage of charity:water
is that 100% of public donations directly fund sustainable water
solutions in areas of greatest need. A group of private donors,
foundations and sponsors help pay for the everyday costs of running
the organization, so all public donations go straight to on-the-ground
project costs. (information taken from www.charitywater.org)

Local support for H2o6 and the issue of water justice has proven to be
strong. This spirit of enthusiasm and volunteerism displays the
passion and commitment of both the Hip Hop and Central District
Communities to transform global problems by not only inspiring
awareness, but also through direct action. H2o6 is part of
charity:water’s birthday campaign, which recently garnered significant
media attention when Will Smith and Jada Pinkett pledged their
birthdays on the Oprah Winfrey Show. H2o6 currently stands alone as
the first and only event of its kind in Seattle: it promises to be an
exciting and eye-opening event for all ages.
