NYC Twestival has teamed up with Charity: Water to help Central Africans gain access to clean water. To raise some dough (btw $20 will provide one African clean water for 20 years), NYCTwestival is holding a little shindig at M:2 here in Manhattan.

Check out the video above to learn more about Charity: Water, a non-profit that somehow donates 100% of proceeds to those in need. Bottom line is tickets for the party are $20 for now, but as it fills up they’ll get more expensive ($20 increments). There’s an open bar from 7:30 to 9, a short presentation from charity:water, live music, and some special guests. Music by Eclectic Method, aka sweet remix DJs. Buy tickets, here.

Kudos to McCann and Converseon’s Paull Young for helping out.
