Rihanna, Taylor Swift And Selena Gomez Help Promote UNICEF By Donating Their…Tap Water?

Posted on: March 18, 2011

We’ve heard of celebrities teaming up for a good cause before, but this one has us scratching our heads. Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez and Rihanna are a few of the celebrities lending their names to UNICEF’s Tap Project — a campaign where participating restaurants ask patrons to donate $1 or more for the tap water they usually enjoy for free in an effort to bring clean water to millions of children around the world.

But this year, some of our favorite Buzz worthy babes are taking the project to the next level. From the UNICEF Celebrity Tap website: “Celebrities have donated their own tap water to help raise awareness of the world water crisis. Donations enter individuals in our sweepstakes to win an esteemed collection of these famous tap waters.”

That’s right, folks. If you donate to UNICEF, you can win a bottle of famous tap water and basically sip from the same faucet as Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez. Because everything is better when it’s famous.

Mad props to UNICEF for raising more than $2.5 million since the launch of the Tap Project in 2007. And even though we don’t quite get it, even more props to UNICEF for thinking outside the box. You’ve totally convinced us to donate — if drinking the same water that Rihanna drinks will make us half as photogenic as her, we’re in.
