On November 12, 2013, as part of the IBWA Annual Business Conference, the Drinking Water Research Foundation (DWRF) held a Casino Night Fundraiser at BB King’s Blues Club in downtown Nashville. Attendees enjoyed good music, tasty southern cuisine, and friendly gambling on the casino tables. (No money was exchanged for winning; all gambling was done with “fake” chips.) And the best part—all money collected went to DWRF to help fund vital research impacting the future of the bottled water industry. PLATINUM SPONSORS • DS Waters • Nestlé Waters North America GOLD SPONSORS • Hogan Lovells • Mountain Valley Spring Company • MTN Products, Inc.
SILVER • AQUAQUEEN Australia • Bell Sales, Inc. • Blackhawk Molding Co., Inc. • Consolidated Container Company • Polymer Solutions International, Inc. • The Wohl Russell Family Foundation • Van Ness Feldman
DWRF promotes and supports research that verifies, identifies, and often solves current and potential problems that confront our world’s drinking water supplies.
