Who This Is For

Use this page when you need to qualify an event, a venue, or a local distribution request.

The page is for organizers and community-facing locations that need useful free water and can support a clean sponsor-supported handoff.

Event organizers

Festivals, fundraisers, races, school events, chamber events, and neighborhood activations with a clear audience and timeline.

Nonprofits and community groups

Cause-led events, volunteer programs, awareness campaigns, and outreach moments where free water improves the attendee experience.

Businesses and venues

Retail counters, open houses, gyms, restaurants, campuses, and community-facing locations with real local foot traffic.

Eligibility Review

A strong request is specific, local, and easy to distribute.

The fastest path to approval is a request with a real date, a clear audience estimate, a realistic can quantity, and a distribution plan that is easy to understand.

FreeH2O is local by design. The request should feel like a real Southeast Wisconsin event or community distribution opportunity, not a vague national shipping request.

If you are trying to secure the sponsor side first, review the advertiser campaign builder before submitting your event request.

Event-request questions we expect before you submit

Is FreeH2O really free for events?

Qualified events can receive sponsor-supported aluminum canned water when the event context, timeline, distribution plan, and sponsor fit align.

No. Some events already have sponsor support, but others are reviewed to see whether they can fit a local sponsor campaign.

What kinds of events are a good fit?

Community events, fundraisers, festivals, races, school events, business activations, church events, and nonprofit programs can all be good fits when the logistics are clear.

Yes. FreeH2O uses aluminum cans instead of plastic water bottles.

Can businesses or venues request FreeH2O too?

Yes. Businesses, venues, and distribution partners with real local foot traffic can request sponsor-supported distribution opportunities.

Can sponsor logos and QR codes appear on the cans?

Yes. Sponsor branding and QR destinations can be included when the campaign structure supports them.
