Annual Rock & Roll Event for Water Professionals Held Prior to WEFTEC®, Saturday, September 24, 2016 at Generations Hall, New Orleans, Louisiana
Sacramento, Calif. – September 6, 2016 – Electro Scan Inc., a global leader in pipe condition assessment and the certification of trenchless pipe rehabilitation projects, announced its Platinum Sponsorship of Water Charities Fundraising (WCF), a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that produces the annual Jammin’4Water (J4W) event.
Uniting water professionals through music, WCF raises funds for the Water Environment Federation (WEF) Community Service Project and charitable organizations that focus on water and sanitation.
Representing a fantasy rock & roll experience for charity, musically talented water professionals make donations to become featured players on their favorite song. After months of preparation, donors perform in a concert venue with full rhythm section, backup vocalists, and horn section.
Sponsors and other patrons further support this fundraising event.
This year’s J4W will be held Saturday, September 24, 2016, from 6PM-1AM, at Generations Hall, 310 Andrew Higgins Drive, New Orleans – two blocks from the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center – site of the 89th Water Environment Federation’s Technical Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC®).
After J4W, Electro Scan Inc. will be exhibiting at WEFTEC® Hall D, Booth #2906.
“Dave Kinnear (President), Max Foster (Treasurer and Charitable Donations), and Matt Livingstone (Board Member and J4W Musical Director), deserve the credit for this event,” stated Chuck Hansen, Chairman, Electro Scan Inc.
Continues Hansen, “We are proud to be associated with such a worthy cause and impressed with the event’s selection criteria for its charitable projects.”
In 2016, WCF provided $70,000 for water projects in seven countries.
In addition to his company’s sponsorship, Chuck Hansen will be joining the horn section for the J4W house band.
Playing Baritone Sax, Hansen has performed with Tower of Power, Huey Lewis & The News, Michael Bolton, Eddie Money, Prairie Prince (The Tubes), and Micky Dolenz (The Monkees), among others, and was recently featured in Trenchless Technology magazine’s Special Music Section.
Other members of the J4W horn section include Matt Livingstone, Novozymes (Trumpet), David & Robert Kershner, Kershner Environmental Technologies, LLC (Trumpets), Bernhard Wessendorf, Börger GmbH (Trombone), Matt Bond, Black & Veatch (Trombone), Germano Salazar, Hampton Roads Sanitation District (Alto Sax), and Caroline Burger, Brown and Caldwell (Tenor Sax).
This year, 80 musicians/water professionals will perform on two stages before an audience of over 1,000 attendees.
