In spite of the flooding of millions of dollars worth of the H2O tour instruments and equipment, the show still went on.

The Brad Paisley H2O World Tour began in Virginia Beach this Friday night, and critical reviews are saying it will spoil you for any other summer shows...and maybe even Disney World.

Hope Through Healing Hands has been honored to partner with the tour to promote awareness, advocacy, and philanthropy for clean, safe water initiatives around the world with our Water=Hope Campaign.

Senator Frist and his family, staff, and friends flew to Virginia Beach for the launch of the tour.

"It was so exciting to be there for the very first show. I'm proud to be partnered with the H2O tour and I'm proud of the hard work of all our Water=Hope Campaign volunteers. We have a great booth, and we signed up many interested activists and donors for this important campaign for clean water," says Frist.

Being in Virginia Beach, the volunteers talked with lots of fans that were current or retired members of the military, many of whom had seen the need for clean water around the world first hand and were eager to lend their support. 

We also got a lot of love from the Paisley crew - Brad himself came by and picked up a shirt from our booth, so keep an eye out for it to appear on stage sometime soon. The tour continues on, and we are looking forward to getting more and more people involved!
