UNICEF Tap Project: Participating Chicago Restaurants

By L. Stolpman in Food on Mar 16, 2010 6:40PM

2009_03_tap_project.jpg Soon, and for a limited time, local restaurants may charge you for tap water - for a good reason. World Water Week is nearly upon us (March 21 - 27) and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF Tap Project is back in Chicago at participating restaurants. The project allows patrons in restaurant to donate $1 or more for the tap water they normally drink for free while dining out at participating restaurants. UNICEF tells us that your $1 can provide clean drinking water for a child for up to 40 days.

To kick things off in Chicago, Sunda (located 110 West Illinois Street) will host a cocktail and four course dinner party on Friday, March 19 at 7p.m. Tickets for the dinner are $100 per person, which includes cocktails and hors d'oeuvres to start, a four-course family style menu and open premium bar including cocktails by Grey Goose Vodka, sake, wine and champagne. (Price includes tax and gratuity). A list of participating Chicago area restaurants is after the cut.
