About This Project:
Project Description
Drowning is the number 1 cause of accidental death in children under the age of 4. Our goal is that every parent knows this statistic. And how this statistic does not begin to touch the actual number of children who succumb to drowning due to current recording methods.
Your Child was NOT designed to drown, they were meant to float!
There are many layers of protection needed to keep our little ones safe around water, and the last layer of protection is to skill your child with the ability to rollback and float unassisted. The ability for them to turn their head, and float could mean the difference between life and death.
Project Needs
We are in need of covering the costs of a logo design, website development, brochures (design, print & shipping), admission as an exhibitor to the AAP National Conference in Orlando FL.
| Description | Amount | |
|---|---|---|
| Brochure Design & Printing | $2,500.00 | |
| Logo Design | $350.00 | |
| AAP Conference | $2,400.00 | |
| website design | $500.00 |
If a project has filled its need for a “Line item”, your funds may be applied to additional project needs.
Project Schedule
This project is currently running to raise funds by certain deadlines.
Our logo & website design are currently in design. As is a design for a water safety brochure. Our group is hopeful to attend the American Association of Pediatrics (AAP) National Conference in Orlando.
Project Beneficiaries
This project will benefit children Nationally. Our goal is to reach every hospital with a mommy & baby ward and distribute this brochure to each new parent. Every parent should know and understand the dangers that water presents, and know what to do to ensure their child will be as safe as possible.
