Toast to Tap Water
The U.S. Fund for UNICEF Tap Project® returns to Chicago next week during World Water Week (March 21-27). To help bring clean drinking water to children around the world, the Tap Project invites diners to donate $1 or more for the tap water they usually enjoy free at participating restaurants. The project is in its fourth year and has netted almost $1.5 million. Funds raised this year will go mainly to support Haiti, Central African Republic, Guatemala, Togo and Vietnam. Visit the Tap Project web site for a complete list of participating Chicago restaurants.
The Tap Project kicks off this Friday with a cocktail and four-course dinner party at River North's Sunda (110 W. Illinois St.).
