CHICAGO – In our inaugural edition of HollywoodChicago.com Hookup: Charity, we have one limited-edition water bottle with a Matt Damon-signed thank you up for grabs in support of the global, non-profit joint effort by Water.org, CamelBak and Matt Damon to raise awareness about the planet’s unsafe water crisis!

Thanks to Water.org co-founders Matt Damon and Gary White, Water.org has launched a water campaign called “Hope in a Bottle”. In partnership with CamelBak, Water.org has developed a limited-edition, reusable and environmentally friendly water bottle.

The campaign is running through the holiday season and the bottle can only be purchased at http://gift.water.org with 100 percent of the profits going directly to Water.org projects around the globe. HollywoodChicago.com has secured one of these water bottles plus a Matt Damon-signed card as a thank you to one of our lucky readers!

All in the true spirit of giving, Hope in a Bottle gives you the chance to give a meaningful and original gift to a loved one for the holidays while giving clean water to someone in need. Everyone who buys a bottle will receive a link to follow the progress of a community that their purchase is going to help. This allows you to actually see how your donation is being put to good use.

Water.org can be followed on Twitter here and liked on Facebook here. To win your free CamelBak and Water.org bottle with a Matt Damon-signed thank you courtesy of HollywoodChicago.com, all you need to do is answer our question in this Web-based submission form. That’s it! Directions to enter this HollywoodChicago.com Hookup and immediately win can be found below.

Here are facts about today’s grave water crisis:

1. Nearly 1 billion people have no access to clean water and more than 2.5 billion don’t have proper sanitation.
2. Water-borne diseases kill 9,000 people (mostly small children) every day. That’s one person every 10 seconds.
3. More lives are claimed each year by water-related diseases than by guns and wars.
4. Only one in three people in the world have a toilet. More have cell phones.
5. In many countries, the impact is felt most deeply by women who gather water, care for stricken children and cope with the ramifications of this life-crushing burden.
