Charleston Fundraising

The annual Walk for Water in Charleston is inspired by millions of women and children who are responsible for making the daily trek to collect water for their families. During the walk, each participant has the opportunity to carry an empty water pail, which can be filled with water at the halfway point along the route then carried to the finish. The Walk for Water is a fun, educational experience that anyone can enjoy!

The Historic Charleston City Market has a direct connection to the people of Haiti, having housed refugees from Cape Francois, Sainte Domingue (Haiti) in 1793 in the Market Hall section between Meeting and Church Streets while the City Market was still under construction (please visit The Charleston History Advocate at charlestonarchive.org/ for the full history of the market's relationship to Haiti).
