WHY HYDRATE FOR 28

2020 was rough. So we built a campaign where Key Clubbers could focus on their health and wellness, while also helping us END the water crisis.

We know that drinking water contributes to one’s overall health, and we wanted Key Clubbers to commit to putting their health first!

ANY Key Clubber that completes this campaign and drinks 64 ounces of water for ALL 28 days in February will be put into a drawing to win a free Zoom session with our campaign champion, Dexter Darden!
