Waterwalk makes its Boston debut. This charity event that got started in New York City is a moving, interactive experience where guests are invited to take off their shoes and carry two 40-pound yellow jerry cans a fraction of the distance in which millions of women and children in developing countries must walk in order to collect water each day. 103 people participated in the Waterwalk, with VIP attendees including Scott Harrison, Michaelangelo L’Acqua, Ben Mezrich, Ricardo Rodriguez, Daniela Corte, Boston’s own Sean William Donovan, Kevin Starr, Adriana & Tarek Hassan, and DJ Case&Point. For each walk, W Hotels donated $45 to bring one person clean water in Orissa, India.
