Hydration that becomes a movement

Take the Chug Challenge.

Grab a bottle. Drink it down on camera. Nominate three friends — and give back. It’s the simplest, most joyful way to turn an everyday glass of water into clean water and hope for an American family in crisis. Drink. Tag. Give.

What it is

One bottle. Three friends. A whole wave of good.

The Chug Challenge is exactly what it sounds like: you drink a bottle or glass of water on camera, you challenge three friends to do the same, and you give back to the mission. We call the giving part the Chug Challenge for Charity — and every dollar helps put clean drinking water into the hands of people who just lost theirs.

It started as a bit of fun. It became something better: thousands of small, joyful moments adding up to real relief for American towns hit by floods, fires, and storms. No grim photos. No guilt. Just hydration, friends, and hope — passed hand to hand.
