“We’re excited to team up with the David Crowder*Band and ‘The 7 Tour' to help raise funds for our ‘7 Wells Project.’ It’s wonderful to see the band use its tour as a platform to help others by partnering with us to provide clean drinking water for those in need through the building of water wells,” said Tyler Merrick, founder and CEO of Project 7. “Our goal through this partnership is to spread awareness of the fact that more than one billion people worldwide lack a basic supply of clean water, and to make it easy for concert goers to donate to this important cause by rewarding them with a canister of our Quench the Thirsty™ 7 Blend Coffee.”
