Lassen Family Services is partnering with the Honey Lake Valley Community Pool to offer a program where you can sponsor a child’s swim lessons. This initiative provides a crucial opportunity for children in our community who participate in LFS programs to learn to swim, a skill that could one day save their life.
As Lassen Family Services put it, “It’s that time of year again! Your generous donations in previous years have helped so many children stay water safe! Let’s keep that going this year and make sure as many children as possible are provided with the potentially lifesaving skill of swimming!”
“These are only available to the populations we work with, so they’d have to be a participant in one of our programs.”
Why It Matters
Swimming is not just a fun summer activity; it’s a vital life skill. Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death for children, and teaching kids how to swim dramatically reduces this risk. By sponsoring a child’s swim lessons, you are directly investing in their safety and well-being.
How You Can Help
The typical cost to sponsor a child for swim lessons is between $55 and $65. However, any donation amount is welcome and will go directly towards providing this invaluable opportunity.
