Drowning Prevention Foundation San Francisco Bay Area
About Us
OUR VALUES
Drowning is preventable.
Influencing policy and legislation is the most effective way to address drowning prevention.
Making water safety resources more accessible to low-income groups is an effective way to influence safer behavior around the water.
Drowning happens to children of loving, responsible parents. Most of these tragedies are NOT the result of a lack of supervision, but rather occur during momentary lapses when caregivers are engaged in routine household activities.
We embrace those who have lost a loved one to fatal or nonfatal drowning (incidents resulting in permanent neurological damage) and we support the unique way that each family chooses to honor the memory of a drowning victim. We foster their programs and projects that will prevent future drowning tragedies.
We promote collaboration with every organization working to prevent drowning.
