Today is Nick Adams (La Cage, Chorus Line, Chicago, Guys & Dolls, Pirate Queen) 27th Birthday. He is giving up his bday to raise money to build a well in a developing country.
In Nicks Words:

For my 27th birthday, instead of receiving gifts, I wanted to give back.
So this year, I'm giving my birthday up.

I'm turning 27 years old, and instead of asking for gifts, I'm asking for $27 or more from everyone I know. It's not going to me, though. All of it is going to build freshwater wells for people in developing nations.
A billion people in the world are living without clean water - but how much are they really living? Millions contract deadly diseases from contaminated water. 45,000 people will die this week alone. The lucky ones won't, but still walk hours each day to get dirty water to give to their families.
My birthday wish this year is not for more gifts I don't need; it's to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion living without it. I want to make my birthday matter this year.
Please join me.

please note: Because of charity: water's unique model, 100% of all donations go directly to direct water projects costs, and each donation is "proved" and tracked to the village it helped when projects are complete.

What an amazing project, I've helped out by donating $127 and many of his fans are as well. Let's help Nick reach his goal of $5000 by donating and spreading the word on facebook, twitter, and emailing this around!
Help Nick Adams Build a Well!
