Hope Floats Foundation Swim lesson scholarships - local funds for local kids! DID YOU KNOW that Drowning is the Leading Cause of Accidental Death for Ages 5 & Under?

A child dies from drowning every minute across the globe. It’s the silent epidemic that no one is talking about. The absolute blessing here is that drowning is preventable. Through pooling our resources and connecting underserved children with providers who can help educate families how to keep their children safe and who can give children the ability to save their own lives through learning to swim, community by community, we can reverse the tide of child drownings worldwide. Hope Floats is the vehicle through which ordinary people and businesses can pool together to do something extraordinary: Save the lives of children across the globe by giving them the life-saving skill of swimming. Hope Floats raises money by partnering with individuals, just like yourself, and businesses that want to do good works in their community. That money is used to give scholarships and tuition assistance to underprivileged children who might not otherwise be able to afford swim lessons. How Can I Help?
* Take Action by Making a Donation! Your donation will stay close to your community to make a difference.
* Are You a Business Owner? Partner with Hope Floats to show your community and your clients how much you care.

* Drowning is the Leading Cause of Accidental Death in the U.S. for Ages 5 & Under
* Drowning is the 2nd Leading Cause of Accidental Death in the U.S. for Ages 14 & Under
* Participation in formal swim lessons reduces risk of drowning by 88%! (National Institute of Health, Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med, 2009)
* According to Griffith University research (2013), young children who participate in swim lessons at an early age are:
* 20 months ahead in understanding directions
* 17 months ahead in story recall
* 10 months ahead in cognitive skills
* 7 months ahead in fine motor skills

You can make a difference. Your donation allows us to teach a child to save their own life. Could there be a bigger blessing than that?

We love HOMETOWN HEROES!

We cannot say enough about Saydam Properties Group at Keller Williams Capital Properties. Over the past 3 years, they have sponsored TWENTY-FIVE swim lesson scholarships for kids who otherwise would have no access to high-quality swim lessons.

Mention Hope Floats Foundation when you meet with them, and when you close, SPG will donate $1K to swim lesson scholarships!

More about SPG

Saydam Properties Group, Keller Williams is a different kind of real estate team - entirely referral-based, built on relationships and trust, and mission-driven.

SPG has given back over $1 million to causes and charities local and abroad - from programs like ours to veterans and homelessness initiatives in the D.C. area - to clean water wells and even a girls' school in Africa.

That same care shows up in every transaction: to date, the team has sold over $1 billion in real estate and more than 2,000 homes, earning recognition as the #1 real estate team by transaction count in DC. They serve DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.

Drowning is the leading cause of of death for kids 1-4 years old. We need to be vigilant with kids around water and put multiple layers of protection in place
