Dave Wehrle’s 50/50 Birthday Challenge to Benefit LifeStraw
Dave Wehrle challenges you to support Ucan2′s LifeStraw Project in honor of his upcoming 50th birthday! Dave Wehrle of Madison, CT, will attempt to bench press 50 lbs more than his body weight on his 50th birthday. His goal is to weigh 185 lbs and bench press 235 lbs, but any 50 lb differential will work (weight 190lb/bench 240lb). Dave is donating $500 to LifeStraw and if he happens to fall short of his goal, will contribute an additional $10 for each pound he missed his target by. Official weigh-in/bench press will take place Friday July 20th. Please support Dave in his endeavor by donating today.
Dave would like to thank the Leckey family, particularly 5th grader Brett, for adamantly supporting this very worthy cause.

Thank you!!

Donation from Guilford High School Honor Society
David Kirwin contacted Ucan2 after hearing Brett give his presentation to the Guilford PF group last year. He decided to take the idea of a fundraiser to the Honor Society at Guilford High School and they liked it. We just received a check from their efforts and cannot thank them enough!

CELC Water Science Workshop with Peter Cleary from Vestergaard Frandsen
CELC’s hed another Science Water Workshop at the Eli Whitney Water Museum in Hamden.
It was so cool to have Brett give his presentation to Peter Cleary from Vestergaard Frandsen, the company that manufactures LifeStraws today. When he got to the part describing the LifeStraw and how it works to everyone, he said Peter would explain more about it during his presentation, but Peter said he was doing a great job, so that really gave Brett a boost.
Then Peter showed the short film “Carbon for Water”(http://www.carbonforwaterfilm.com/) and gave a very interesting presentation on the company and its mission. We were so impressed with the forward thinking, smart company that we have become connected to through this project. It made us proud to represent them and support their product with our work.

Brett gave his presentation to a small group of students at CELC’s new location in Branford, CT. Students and parents were very interested in hearing more and getting involved with Ucan2. Admission to the workshop was a donation to LifeStraw.

Ice Cream at Ashley’s with Mike from Guilford Rotary
Mike Mikolay from the Guilford Rotary Club took us all to get ice cream at Ashley’s and presented us with a generous donation! He told Brett that he hopes his young son turns out just like him. Brett thought about that and said,”Well, you might not want him to be exactly like me, I’ve had my ups and downs.”

1st Annual Fundraiser-Huge success!! Great food, great people, great cause
What an amaazing night! We had 75 people, adults and children, and the whole restaurant at the Aqua to ourselves. The tables were set beautifully with blue and green helium ballons tied to bottles of h2ope water. Cheif and Stephan played guitar and sang while people came in and mingled. The food was delicious and kept coming! Display tables were set up in front with t-shirts, examples of the change collection cans, the gift cards, and a large poster board showed pictures of each of the three projects Ucan2 is involved in. H2ope set up a display table too. Brett gave one of his best presentations and our friends and family got to see all of things we have been up to. I was afraid to give my part of the speech, but as soon as started talking about what I am so passionate about, te words just came and I was very pleased. The energy and momentum of the night lingered for weeks.
Thanks to all who made it such an incredible night for us.

Pilgrim Fellowship in Guilford
I don’t know how he does it, but Brett stood up in front of over 100 high school students to give his presentation. He had a couple of great one liners.
