MOORESTOWN, N.J., April 10, 2010--A Drink For Tomorrow announced it will partner with Cork Restaurant of Westmont, NJ to fund clean water projects through the organization's "Turn Wine into Water" Campaign. Beginning May 1st, each time a patron orders a bottle of 2007 Chad Merlot of Napa, California or 2009 Fabre Montmayou Torrentes, Argentina, Cork will donate $1 dollar of the wine sale to A Drink For Tomorrow. The one dollar donated per bottle is enough to bring someone in a developing country clean drinking water for an entire year. This partnership will raise both awareness for the global water crisis and essential funds to help the 1.2 billion people lacking access to clean water
The partnership will kick off on May 2nd, 2010, when A Drink for Tomorrow will be holding it's Second Annual Fundraising Event at Cork. This event, which will take place from 6-8pm, will feature unlimited beer, wine, blue martinis, hot appetizers, dessert and live music. Tickets to this event can be purchased at Event Brite"
