For those of you in attendance, we don’t have to tell you this, but for those that weren’t able to make it, the Water the Future event was a huge success!  Over 150 people came through the doors to help support Charleston Waterkeeper’s efforts.  When all was said and done, the event raised in excess of $1,300!  This money will be used to defend Charleston’s waterways from pollution and protect your rights to clean water.

A huge thanks to everyone who helped to make this idea a reality.  Rob Brennan of Brennan Media put this video together from the event.  A big thanks to him for rocking it out, sans assistance from any mainstream media outlet.

For photos of the event, check out our Facebook profile or Chrys Rynearson’s flickr feed.  If you’ve got photos or video from the event, we’d love to check them out!  Tag us on FB or send them to us at [email protected].

We’ll have more media and follow-up to come… so stay tuned!
