Since the very beginning of One Drop, we have strived to create programs that would be innovative and sustainable. When it comes to raising funds, we follow the same approach. Of course, none of this would happen if it wasn’t for the amazingly talented performers and volunteers of Cirque du Soleil and MGM Resorts International, who tirelessly take on this project year after year with the same excitement and spirit as they did from the beginning. And I thank you, our guests, who continue to fly in from all over the world to support us, as well as the committed Las Vegas community, which has truly embraced Cirque du Soleil, One Drop and this global philanthropy event. I’m excited that you are joining me so we can continue to work together to share knowledge, efforts, and dreams as well as human, material and financial resources. We will continue to take on this challenge so we can get closer each day to our goal to provide access to safe water for each and every person on our planet.
