I prefer drinking beer for charity, like when Courtney and I got drunk for Darfur a couple weeks ago. But this, this is good too:

March 14, 2008 - Sunday, March 16, through Saturday, March 22, 2008 is World Water Week, and the PDX Tap Project is giving Portland a chance to make a splash in alleviating the worldwide water crisis. Rolled out last year in New York City and now hosted in cities across the nation, the Tap Project is a UNICEF-founded program that provides clean water to children in developing nations by asking patrons at participating restaurants to donate $1 for a glass of tap water (or donate online at www.tapproject.org).

Participating restaurants include Apizza Scholls, Biwa, Cup and Saucer, Dove Vivi, Fire on the Mountain, Hot Lips, Kenny & Zuke’s, Le Pigeon, Podnah’s, Pok Pok, the Screen Door, Toro Bravo… The full list is after the jump.
