Water Champions
Hoops4Humanity Water Champions are individuals and families who have funded projects that provide clean water to thousands of people in rural and urban areas in Tanzania. Their gifts of solar-powered water wells reduce water-borne illness, improve health, free children to attend school, and afford women the opportunity to work and care for their families.
Sean Harrison
Mulumpu Primary School
Hi! My name is Sean Harrison. I’m 28, and live in NY. I’m a Big fan of both the NBA and humanitarian projects. The Brogdon Family Foundation seemed a natural fit given my interests.
I decided to fund a project because people everywhere deserve access to clean water safely. It’s a basic necessity, that many take for granted. I wanted to do my part to help others to have easy access to an asset as fundamental as water. Hopefully, one day, water is easy to access for anyone, no matter where they live.
The Tolliver Family
Naiboirsoit Primary School
We are the Tolliver’s and we live in Dallas TX. Once we learned about so many kids around the world (and in particular in Africa) that don’t have access to clean water we knew we had to be apart of the solution. Something as basic as clean water should not be Subject to where you live.
Phil Wendel
Gomvu Primary School and Vumilia Ukooni Primary School, Dar es Salaam
We were lucky enough to have Malcolm in Charlottesville for five years. I admire people who are successful in life and make an effort to give back. I, too, have been blessed with success in the workplace.
The Porter Family
Gezaulole Primary School, Dar es Salaam
“To whom much is given, much shall be required.” Sara and I have been truly blessed with a wonderful family, friends, country, skills and opportunities in our lives. We feel it’s our job to help others and wanted our gift to impact many lives for years to come. We also wanted to have a special connection with the gift we made, and the Brogdon Family Foundation helped us achieve that goal. From being able to choose which community to serve to allowing us to visit the finished water well, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget and inspire us to do more.
Stephanie and Phillip Clough
Sinoni Primary School, Arusha
For us giving back is sharing our love through supporting health and education, two critical areas that impact the future generation. We are excited to know that access to clean water through this project will not only better long-term health but also empower an entire community, creating a ripple effect in thousands of lives.
We look forward to visiting the Sinoni school site and will be forever grateful for being part of such a transformative initiative
