Life Jacket Loaner Program Looks To Expand
by Jennifer Dennard
The BoatU.S. Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water has begun a fundraising campaign in
order to expand its Life Jacket Loaner Program, which loans life jackets to infants, toddlers and
children at more than 350 locations around the U.S.
The campaign hopes to raise $50,000 in order to replace life jackets at current loaner sites
and create new locations at boat ramps, boat clubs, bait shops, marinas, waterside resorts, tow
boats, fire houses and other public places.
A $10 donation will purchase one life jacket, while a $250 donation will establish a fully
stocked loaner site. Donations may be made online at
www.boatus.com/foundation. They may
also be mailed to BoatU.S. Foundation, c/o Life Jacket Loaner Program, 880 South Pickett St.,
Alexandria, VA 22304. Donations are tax deductible.
