(Santa Rosa, CA, April 5th 2011) -- Rosé Avengers & Producers (RAP) announced today that it is partnering with Mutineer magazine to help raise funds for its Clean Water Crusader campaign in support of A Child's Right.

To learn more about the campaign, visit Mutineer magazine.

"We developed our Clean Water Crusader campaign to be a simple win-win proposition," said Alan Kropf, editor-in-chief of Mutineer. "Beverage companies that raise and donate at least $500.00 directly to A Child's Right will have its product or logo featured in our fall water relief-themed issue. We'll also tweet out an interesting water-themed fact out to our Twitter followers on behalf of each company. The top 3 fundraisers make the cover."
