Each summer, families gather at pools, lakes, and beaches—believing they’re safe, that someone is watching. But the heartbreaking truth is that drowning is the #1 cause of death for children ages 1–4. Our daughter Anna drowned just one week after her 4th birthday. This “one last quick swim” in the shallow end, surrounded by adults and lifeguards- changed our lives forever.

In her honor, we created the 4 ANNA Foundation to turn unimaginable heartbreak into lifesaving action. Through education and awareness, we work every day to prevent drownings and protect families from experiencing this loss.

This June 27th, we’re hosting our biggest annual fundraiser—Golf 4 ANNA at Carriage Greens Country Club in Darien. It’s a day filled with meaning, community, and fun—to save a life in honor of Anna's. Here are a few ways to help us make that happen!
