HEY GUYS! We are Rock For Reason! We are a non profit organization ran by Teens in Washington State (Mainly Maple Valley). We put together concerts to raise money so that we can bring clean water to 125,000 people in some of the remote villages in Ghana Africa. We have been a group since 2007, and don’t plan on having an ending year. With every dollar we raise, it puts us one step closer to finishing what we set out to do, change the world. With more than one way to help us out, most free of any cost, what will you do to change the world?

GOALS!
1)Bring 125,000 people CLEAN drinking water
2)Show people that anyone can make a difference.
3)Change the world one well and one concert at a time!
