Garrett Clayton's worthy cause

- —OLIVER PULUMBARIT

“King Cobra” actor Garrett Clayton has found a worthy cause to rally behind. He is helping represent a group focused on bringing awareness to the lack of clean, potable water in certain parts of the world.

Attending the recent Annual Paul Mitchell Schools FUN-raising Gala in Los Angeles, the former Disney star posted a photo on Instagram of the occasion with the caption, “They have donated $100,000 every year for the last three years to the Thirst Project. None of that would be possible without the hardworkin­g students who help to raise the money.”

Clayton, 27, added, “Thank you for letting

me be a part of such a beautiful night! Thirst Project is such a valuable tool to fight the global water crisis—and everyone deserves to have clean drinking water … please get involved!”

According to Thirstproj­ect.org, it aims to “end the global water crisis … by activating [students] to rock the clean water cause and build water projects all over the world.” The organizati­on has helped 13 countries and raised $8.8 million, to date.

Other actors who have teamed up with the group are Dacre Montgomery and Charisma Carpenter.
