Make a Splash in a Kid's Life
Reaching our goal of $50,000 helps increase access and remove financial barriers for at-risk and disadvantaged youth and families throughout Spokane County by increasing funding for free life-saving swim lessons, drowning prevention clinics, and swimming.
Did you know that nationwide 79% of children in households with incomes less than $50,000 have little-to-no swimming ability? Our beautiful region is home to over 70 bodies of water and knowing how to swim and the importance of water safety is critical to enjoying all our region has to offer. Formal swim lessons reduce the likelihood of childhood drowning by 88%. Your gift to the Make-A-Splash in a Kid’s Life program keeps kids confidently and safely splashing in our community pools, lakes, rivers and streams.
