Good Charlotte's Joel And Benji Madden Would 'Tap' That

tap0325.jpg

Good Charlotte is making good. Twin brothers Joel and Benji Madden are traveling the world in an effort to save children's lives. PIX’s Emily Frances caught up with them to talk about their participation in the Tap Project.

The Tap Project began in New York City and started by restaurants asking their patrons to donate $1 or more for the tap water they usually enjoy for free, and all funds raised would support UNICEF’s efforts to bring clean and accessible water to millions of children around the world.

During World Water Week, March 22-28, the Tap Project will once again raise vital donations and awareness for UNICEF’s water and sanitation programs. For every dollar raised, a child will have clean drinking water for 40 days. All funds raised support UNICEF’s efforts to bring clean and accessible water to millions of children around the world.

For more information on the Tap Project, visit tapproject.org.

Joel and Benji are sweethearts period...and with Joel being a daddy of one...with another one(maybe two) on the way, I'm guessing its opened his eyes to what's going on with the children nationwide. They're naurally born sweethearts. I love these guys =]

2010 ING New York City Marathon: Team UNICEF
Make zero your finish line.

For a second consecutive year, UNICEF is partnering with the ING New York City Marathon, to fundraise on behalf of the world's children and provide the life saving care that is needed. Members of Team UNICEF are active citizens running toward the day when zero children die from preventable causes, an attainable goal by which UNICEF offers the strength, knowledge, and efficiency to accomplish success.

Each day, 24,000 children die from preventable causes and each member of Team UNICEF has committed to raising a minimum of $3,500 to help UNICEF achieve the day of zero preventable deaths of children worldwide. The members of Team UNICEF believe that zero preventable deaths is the finish line.
