This Giving Tuesday, country music’s Michael Ray announces he has partnered with GIVN® Water as a brand ambassador. Ray has already mobilized his fans to donate over 100K meals to shelter animals on stops along his Get To You Tour through his own Wrigley Cares program, and will continue his mission to give back as he prepares to release his sophomore album through a collaboration with GIVN to help provide clean water to communities around the globe.

“When I learned that GIVN provides a day of clean water to those in need for every bottle they sell, I immediately felt that significance and the ripple effect it could have not just in the U.S. but also on a global scale,” shares Ray. “Growing up in a small rural town in Florida, I learned at an early age that showing people you care is the greatest way to strengthen a community. Whether it was something as small as taking a neighbor a meal, my grandfather not only told me but he showed me the importance of being there for one another. I think we all need that right now. No gesture is too small.”

Recognized as a 2016 Best for the World Honoree, GIVN® Water provides one day of clean drinking water from each bottle sold, having provided over 850,000 days of clean water thus far. As a brand ambassador, the man the Tampa Bay Times calls a “passionate, inked-up country rocker” will support GIVN® Water and their inspirational work via social media and at his live shows.
