Alexi Panos, Quiksilver Women Ambassador and co-founder of E.P.I.C (Everyday People Initiating Change) is dedicated to helping bring fresh drinking water to the people of Africa. With the help of Tenille Amor, co-founder of E.P.I.C and Quiksilver Women Ambassador, and through their partnership with Quiksilver Women, they have made their dream a reality. With the success of two fresh water wells and the hope to drill three more in 2010, they are truly the epitome of the word DO-GOODER! Water really does change everything.

Check out Alexi in the new True Blue campaign for JetBlue.
No water sucks! It’s true. That’s why Quiksilver and Roxy are about to unleash a new ‘Green Campaign’ under the same name.
‘No Water Sucks’ is a European awareness campaign aimed at water conservation to be held throughout March 2010. The concept: raise funds to develop water protection projects, in partnership with ‘Save Your Logo’* and supported by the E.P.I.C movement, a project created by our Quiksilver Women Tennille Amor and Alexi Panos.

The girls from E.P.I.C., Everyday People Initiating Change just re-launched their website and also created this stunning video explaining their organization, past efforts and what they aim to accomplish in the future – including the 3 wells they hope to build this year with Quiksilver’s help.
.
Through their partnership with Quiksilver Women, E.P.I.C. raised enough money through royalties from Quiksilver’s eco-friendly products in 2009 to complete two new water wells in Africa. This year E.P.I.C. and Quiksilver hope to drill three more wells through the continuation of their collaboration.
.
For every Quiksilver women’s ecofriendly product sold on Quiksilver-store.com, 1€ will be donated to E.P.I.C. In addition,selected Organic Cotton Tees(L’Amour,Find Your Freedom,Gimme Green) will be sold at 19€, from which all the proceedings will go to E.P.I.C.
.
100% of donations to E.P.I.C are applied directly to the drilling of wells since the founders rely on personal income and grants to sustain the organization. Check it out and see what you can do to make a difference.
