Stacey Griffin, Stacey Griffin, founder of AQUA2GO®, is a resident and business owner in New Orleans, Louisiana. She graduated from Tulane School of Social Work in 1995. After several years of working in the field, she opened a psychiatric facility for low-income children and adolescents in 2000. In August 2005, like many others in New Orleans, the business was lost during Hurricane Katrina.

However, she and her family returned to New Orleans to begin rebuilding like so many others. The agency became one of the first mental health agencies serving the Greater New Orleans area post- Katrina (www.milestonesmha.com).

Then, the following year, an idea for a water product was sparked during a family vacation. In an effort to find a creative way to encourage her 3 year old daughter to choose water over juice, she thought of putting water in a "juice box."

Her research began immediately. Stacey quickly found that water boxes had been around for many years, and that this was not a new concept. However, the fact remained that there was room for another water box product on the market. Stacey's husband and daughter, along with many of her friends and family, provided valuable creative input and support throughout the process to develop AQUA2GO®.

Stacey believes that water boxes, if used wisely and responsibly by consumers, are useful for a variety of purposes such as emergency preparedness (due to 5 year shelf life), large gatherings, and other situations in which access to clean water and/or reusable containers is not an option.
