First Supply Hosts Premier of IMAX Film


Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk”

Focuses on Today’s Looming Water Crisis

Milwaukee, Wis. – June, 4 2008 – First Supply, Midwest’s Premier Distributor, in conjunction with Kohler Co. sponsors Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk, a new 3D/2D giant screen film created to raise global awareness of world water issues with a private viewing at the Humphrey IMAX Dome Theatre at the Milwaukee Public Museum. Over 200 customers attended the private event.

Set against the immense backdrop of the majestic Grand Canyon, this film combines exhilarating river-rafting action, family fun and one of the most exhilarating landscapes in the world to tell an engaging story of how ordinary people can make a difference for our parched planet – one that is running out of clean, fresh water so fast that the U.N. estimates that 40% of the world could face life-threatening shortages by the year 2050.

First Supply, a WaterSense partner, supports and promotes Kohler’s large portfolio of water-conserving toilets, urinals and faucet technologies. Kohler’s water-conserving products are prominently displayed and available through First Supply and Gerhards showrooms. Visit www.1supply.com for a complete list of Gerhards locations.
