Willis Haviland Carrier saved the world when he invented air conditioning as we know it today.
Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov saved the world when he prevented nuclear war.
Superman has saved the world over and over again, even if only in fictional works.
So what are you going to do to save the world?
What if I told you that the simple act of throwing some water balloons could help save the world? Seriously. It can.
This Saturday, July 21, the Great American Water Balloon Fight will take place at Point State Park in Pittsburgh. The money raised during the event will save the world, one person at a time. Even if you aren't able to attend the water balloon fight, you can help.
Team Tassy is behind the Great American Water Balloon Fight. They are the group that saved Tassy. Since then, they've saved more kids, helped more families pave the way for a better life, and continued to fight poverty in Haiti. They're saving the world, $20 at a time.
Here's how you can help.
Go throw balloons. It's $20 to get involved in the shenanigans. I won't tell you which team to join, but I will tell you that Bob is so fast it's actually creepy. For real. The man can dodge a softball like nobody I've ever seen, so I wouldn't expect him to get hit by many water balloons.
Donate balloons. Can't go? That's cool. Me neither. You can still sponsor some balloons and do your part to make sure the radio personality of your choosing lose.
Donate money. If you can't decide who you want to see lose the water fight, you can still help make sure the ultimate winners get what they need. $25 pays for a medical exam. $100 is enough to cover all of the school supplies (including uniforms) a kid needs. A little bit goes a long way in helping the people who need it.
Saving the world has never been so much fun.
