Las Vegas – Families visiting Opportunity Village’s Magical Forest (November 27 – January 1) this holiday season can pick up a free copy of the newly updated children’s book Dewey and the Thirsty Christmas Tree directly at Multipure’s sponsored holiday tree display.
The 2026 edition of the
popular rhyming book features brand-new story content and updated illustrations starring Dewey, the Clean Water Superhero, as he embarks on a mission to save a parched Christmas tree while teaching young readers about hydration. Published by Multipure, a Las Vegas-based water filtration company with more than 50 years in the industry, free print copies are available at its sponsored tree display in the Magical Forest throughout the event and can also be downloaded online at https://www.multipure.com/dewey.
“The Dewey book series gives families a fun, engaging way to talk to kids about staying healthy and protecting our environment,” said Zachary Rice, President of Multipure. “With new pages and refreshed artwork, Dewey and the Thirsty Christmas Tree brings those lessons to life in an updated holiday adventure.”
Expanding Opportunity Village Partnership
Multipure’s holiday presence will expand beyond the tree display with additional support for Opportunity Village, including:
- Las Vegas Great Santa Run – Saturday, December 5 – For the first time, Multipure is serving as the official water sponsor, providing on-site filtered water stations to eliminate bottled water costs for organizers and reduce single-use plastic trash.
- Magical Forest Hot Cocoa – November 27 – January 1 – Multipure systems will power the event’s hot cocoa stations with freshly filtered water.
“Our goal is to support local
charities by supplying clean drinking water and helping eliminate unnecessary operating expenses like bottled water,” said Rice. “Partnering with Opportunity Village also allows us to help decrease single-use plastic waste across some of Southern Nevada’s biggest holiday events this season.”
Beyond event sponsorships, Multipure is encouraging Southern Nevada nonprofits and eligible families to apply for its Pure Foundation Clean Water for Health program. The in-kind grant program provides 501(c)(3) organizations and families in need, particularly those caring for immunocompromised children, with free drinking water filtration systems, installation, and replacement filters for the life of the unit. The donated systems feature solid carbon block technology engineered to reduce chlorine, lead, heavy metals, microplastics, and PFAS (“forever chemicals”).
These holiday initiatives build upon Multipure’s year-round community engagement across Southern Nevada. In addition to equipping Miracle Flights’ ambulance with custom filtration systems and acting as water sponsor for the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation Superhero Fun Run, Multipure supports education through its Dewey, the Clean Water Superhero free comic books.
The Pure Foundation accepts applications on a rolling basis from qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations serving families, children and immunocompromised individuals in the greater Las Vegas area. Nonprofits interested in outfitting their facilities or nominating a family in their care are encouraged to apply by visiting https://www.multipure.com/pure-foundation-application.
