The Prize

The aurora borealis, or northern lights, is a spectacular natural phenomenon which should be seen at least once in your lifetime – once seen, never forgotten. We are going to take you and 3 friends/family on a journey to the Arctic Circle, where you'll stay in a Kelo-Glass Igloo at the Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, 35 kms away from Ivalo Airport, the northernmost airport in Finland.

The igloo combines the comforting warmth of a log cabin with the sensational views of a totally new accommodation experience. Take in the enchanting beauty of the northern lights through the thermal glass of the igloo while lying in the comfort of your bed. Embrace the Lappish wilderness from the comfort of your very own private hideaway. Your Kelo-Glass igloo is equipped with a bathroom, private sauna, kitchenette, fireplace and a bedroom with a stunning glass roof.

This experience includes:

2-night accommodations for 4 guests in the Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort
Breakfast for 4 guests each morning at Kakslauttanen
Dinner for 4 guests each evening at Kakslauttanen
1-night 4-star accommodations for 4 guests in Helsinki
Ground transfers to and from Ivalo Airport for 4 guests
Northern Lights Snowmobile Safari for 4 guests (2 guests per mobile) for approximately three hours

Please note: This excludes: flights, lunch, liability or travel insurance. You must book your experience a minimum of 60 days before the date you travel.

The Cause

Our mission is simple: Build a socially-conscious generation of young people who will END the global water crisis. We do this by educating students about the crisis and activating them to rock the clean water cause and build real water projects all over the world. Why Water? Health and sanitation: Waterborne diseases kill more children every single year than AIDS, Malaria, and all world violence combined. Small children typically do not have strong enough immune systems to fight diseases like cholera, dysentery, or schistosomiasis.

By providing a community with safe drinking water, disease rates can drop by up to 88% virtually overnight! Child mortality rates can drop up to 90% overnight! Clean water also plays an incredibly critical role in effectively treating and managing HIV/AIDS in rural communities.

Women and children spend on average six to eight hours each day walking to fetch water. The average distance that women and children in developing communities walk to fetch water is 3.75 miles. The time children spend collecting water keeps them from going to school and getting and education.
