A Twitter arranged festival of epic proportion, all for Charity:

Right now 1.1 billion people on the planet don’t have access to safe, clean drinking water. That’s one in six of us.
Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all sickness and disease, and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.
Many communities in developing nations often have a plentiful supply of clean drinking water just below the ground, but no way to get to it.

This is where charitywater.org and their partner organizations come in. Drilling a well can cost from $4,000 – $12,000 USD and many living on less than $1 a day cannot afford one in their community, even if the money is combined.

Twestival is a Festival of Twitterific Proportions and organized on twitter itself and its hope is to raise enough money from their event to fund a well project in a developing country, starting at $4,000 USD. Tickets are still available for Twestival for most all cities participating.
