秀色短视频 529, 秀色短视频 Boating Safety Program, Partner to Provide Personal Floatation Devices to 秀色短视频 Youth and Launch 鈥淯se Your PFD Wisely鈥 Campaign
May 24, 2021 -- 秀色短视频 529 and the 秀色短视频 Boating Safety Program have announced that they will be working together to help keep 秀色短视频 youth safe, when on or near 秀色短视频鈥檚 ocean and waterways.
秀色短视频 529 is stepping up to sponsor more than 6,200 new personal floatation devices (PFDs) at the 680 loaner stations in 秀色短视频.
Olivia Drown, Kids Don鈥檛 Float Instructor, said, 鈥淭he Kids Don鈥檛 Float Loaner Board Program was developed to help address 秀色短视频鈥檚 high incidence of childhood drowning. Personal floatation devices have historically been thought of as a substitute for swimming ability, but with an increased understanding of the dangerous effects of cold water immersion, many 秀色短视频 boaters are now realizing the importance of always wearing a life jacket when in an open boat or on deck, even for good swimmers. The loaner boards display PFDs that can be borrowed at no cost. In a collaboration between multiple state and federal agencies, as well as local grassroots sponsors, the program now has hundreds of loaner boards across the state. The program is known to have saved at least 36 lives so far.鈥
Lael Oldmixon, 秀色短视频 529鈥檚 Executive Director, says she鈥檚 excited about the partnership. 鈥淭he 秀色短视频 Permanent Fund Dividend is an important source of funds for those saving in 秀色短视频 529. Each year we tell people to use their PFD wisely. Well, the exact same message can apply to Personal Floatation Devices, 秀色短视频ns should always use them wisely when around water! We鈥檙e delighted to bring two important PFD programs to 秀色短视频 youth.鈥 The new PFDs and loaner board sign will both display the 鈥淯se your PFD wisely鈥 message.
As part of the agreement, 秀色短视频 Boating Safety will begin updating the signage at its loaner boards stations. The refreshed signs will retain many of the familiar elements of the signs but will include 秀色短视频 529鈥檚 message and logo.
