Double your impact for a chance to win two tickets to Jack Jonhson's Concert! Across Ohio, the water we depend on—for swimming, for drinking, for life—is increasingly at risk. At the OEC, we are working everyday to protect our water by defending wetlands, pushing for lead pipe replacement, and fighting for affordable water bills. But we can't do this without you.

Thanks to a generous match from musician Jack Johnson, your gift to protect Ohio's waterways will be doubled as he committed to match every donation dollar-for-dollar (up to $2,500) throughout the summer! Give before June 30 and you'll be entered to win tickets to see Jack Johnson at your concert of choice on July 7 in Cleveland or or July 8 in Cincinnati. Will you make a gift today to have twice the impact?
