Over 700 million people around the world still lack access to safe, clean drinking water. 💧 That’s why we are so proud of our Shake the Lakes attendees for stepping up to make a difference!

Through Performing Arts For Thirst, students and schools across the country are using the power of performance to bring healing, hope, and health to communities in need. This incredible movement supports Thirst Project, the world’s leading youth water organization, founded in 2008 by a 19-year-old show choir student from Indiana.

✨ Because of students like YOU:

Over $13 million has been raised

More than 700,000 lives have been changed

Since 2016, Performing Arts For Thirst has raised $750,000

Funded 60+ wells

Provided lifetime clean water to 30,000+ people

We are incredibly grateful to our Shake the Lakes community for using their talents and their hearts to help end the global water crisis. 🌎💙

Together, we’re proving that the arts don’t just entertain — they
change the world.
