Quiksilver Women 
In 2008 EPIC 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 EPIC's clean water wells.
With the extraordinary help of Quiksilver, along with many of your generous donations, EPIC was able to drill their 2nd and 3rd wells in the villages of Mangalali and Kibebe.
In 2010, the 3% royalty rate will come from all of the QSW stylish Eco-Friendly Tees and with their continuous support, along with all of your kind donations, EPIC will be drilling 3 more clean water wells in 2010. Please visit our Projects section to learn more!

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 EPIC 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 of E.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.
Every Day provides you with the opportunity to be a part of something E.P.I.C; What did you do today?
