Jars of Clay walks for clean water in Africa
Tonight, Grammy-winning band Jars of Clay will walk across the Shelby Avenue pedestrian bridge and the Woodland Street bridge with more than 200 supporters, hoping to draw attention and money for Blood:Water Mission, a local nonprofit that works to provide clean blood and clean water for people in sub-Saharan Africa.
At the "Water Walk," participants will meet at the Symphony Hall Fountain at Fourth Avenue at 6 p.m., and walk across the Shelby bridge at 6:15 p.m. At 6:25, they'll collect water on the LP Field side of the Cumberland, and then they'll walk back over the river via the Woodland Street bridge. At 7 p.m., they will conclude the walk at Riverfront Park. Donations will be accepted, which will help water projects through Blood:Water Mission.
