July 19th, 2010 Great Designers. Raise Money for Clean Water

I just wanted to make a quick post about something I recently came across which is all kinds of awesome.

A group of great designers who had invites to Dribbble ( a community for artists to share works in progress)  got together and decided to use the invites to raise money for a great cause, clean drinking water. If you are not aware of Dribbble then you are likely not aware of how sought after an invite is for designers who love what they do.

I love this  approach because it is such a sensible application of value to an otherwise abstract idea. They are leveraging the value of something intangible to make a real difference in people’s lives.

I have already donated and told everyone that I can reach about this, I encourage you do to the same.
