Alexi D. Panos, Founder, E.P.I.C. Charity (Every Day People Initiating Change), Actor and Model, co-author: "Watch Me!" The Bold New Motivational Attitude for Personal Success
Tenille Amor, Co-Founder of E.P.I.C, singer, songwriter - modeling for Quiksilver Women's clothing line, one of the backers for E.P.I.C.
Quiksilver Women
In 2008 E.P.I.C. teamed up with the new Quiksilver Women's line, who donated 3% of all of their eco-friendly clothing sales in 2009 to the drilling of E.P.I.C.'s clean water wells.
With the extraordinary help of Quiksilver, along with many of your generous donations, E.P.I.C. was able to drill their 2nd and 3rd wells in the villages of Mangalali and Kibebe. Jennifer Barrios (one of the women from the Quiksilver team), joined Tennille and Alexi on their trip to Tanzania in August, 2009, and was able to see for herself the necessity of the work being done.
In 2010, the 3% royalty rate will come from all of the QSW stylish Short Sleeve Ts, and with their continuous support, along with all of your kind donations, E.P.I.C. will be drilling 3 more clean water wells in 2010. Please visit our Projects section to learn more!
Quiksilver Women is a huge supporter of E.P.I.C. and all that they do, and in 2010, there will be many more exciting projects that will be worked on together, in order to further build the partnership in hopes of raising more money and awareness for this important cause.

E.P.I.C. The Movement
The first of 4 successful wells! The first one was at Kawe Primary School, Tanzania, Africa - bringing fresh water to a village of over 5,000 people! (Aug, 2007)
The E.P.I.C. Assembly for Schools - 1 class period (45 minutes - 1 hour)
E.P.I.C. (Everyday People Initiating Change) began as a non-profit organization, but has now become what we believe to be one of the most important movements of our time.The purpose of E.P.I.C. is to make people aware of how easy it is to contribute positively to our world.Our presentation within your school meets various NJ and NY State Core-Curriculum requirements under: Character Education, Geography, and Anti-bullying/Anti-Violence education. Your students will relate to the fact that Alexi and Tennille are young people themselves, currently making world-changes; and will view moving films of the girls working with students in Tanzania, Africa. The School administration will delight in the fact that Alexi was a 4.0 Talented & Gifted Student, who exempted 11th grade, and who speaks about the importance of being successful in education and how it opens the world of opportunity for all young people.
The birth of E.P.I.C. was a result of two individuals, Alexi Panos & Tennille Amor, Co-Founders ofE.P.I.C, who shared the same vision; feeling a strong calling to initiate change in the way that people live their lives today.It all begins with the commitment to living a conscious life, and the acceptance of the responsibility to spread this state of consciousness to everyone we possibly can.
To initiate change could be as small as not using excess water in daily chores, to having a conversation about the issues broadcasted on the daily news.To initiate change could also be to volunteer within your community, or to step outside of your comfort zone and find somewhere to volunteer abroad.While EPIC accepts donations for relief efforts worldwide, to initiate change isn’t only about donating money; it’s about feeling compelled to invest in the future of the human condition.
The donations received by E.P.I.C. in 2006, through 2010 will all go towards bettering the lives of the children who are born into a world of suffering and deprivation within some of Africa’s most impoverished nations.We intend to help alleviate this suffering by providing children with an easier access to education and the by providing the most basic need of all to their families; clean water.Called “The Ripples Project,” providing well water can help stop the cycle of disease and death from water born illnesses and poor sanitation, as well as educate the future generations, therefore contributing to a stronger work force in which will better the community and the economy as a whole. By focusing our efforts on the children and their families of Africa, we hope to eventually contribute to putting an end to the immense imbalance that exists between the First the Third Worlds.
Every Day provides you with the opportunity to be a part of something E.P.I.C; What did you do today?
