Inspiring small behavior changes that can make a big impact in daily water usage is an important goal for Colgate. Now in its fourth year, the brand&#8217;s Save Water campaign encourages Americans to turn off the faucet while brushing their teeth as it can save up to four gallons of clean drinking water each time<sup>1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the philanthropic efforts of <span class=\"xn-person\">One Night<\/span> for <span class=\"xn-person\">One Drop<\/span>, Colgate recently partnered with water conservation advocate and ultra-runner, <span class=\"xn-person\">Mina Guli<\/span>, who set out to run 100 marathons in 100 days across six continents to put a spotlight on water challenges around the globe as part of her #RunningDry campaign. Unfortunately, Guli suffered from a broken femur after her 62<sup>nd<\/sup> consecutive marathon, but the notoriety of her efforts led to a surprising response from #RunningDry supporters. Runners from 40 countries around the world hit the trail, running to date over 19,000 miles collectively and logging these miles through social media to help Guli reach her goal. Guli continues to partner with Colgate to collaboratively raise awareness of the global water crisis and support organizations like <span class=\"xn-person\">One Drop<\/span> that work to bring safe water solutions to communities around the globe.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The mission of <span class=\"xn-person\">One Night<\/span> for <span class=\"xn-person\">One Drop<\/span> aligns perfectly with the goals set forth by Colgate and the mission of the Save Water campaign to generate awareness surrounding the global water crisis,&#8221; says Guli. &#8220;If every individual attending <span class=\"xn-person\">One Night<\/span> for <span class=\"xn-person\">One Drop<\/span> performance goes home and turns off the faucet while brushing their teeth, over 7,000 gallons of clean water could be saved.
