Rincon Swim School and Hope Floats Foundation invites you for a benefit to raise funds for swim lesson scholarships for our underserved and at-risk community. An afternoon of curated eats by Slate Catering Co. accompanied with a host bar paired with a silent and live auction supported by Honorary guests speakers. Every dollar that we raise goes back into our community and provides scholarships for swim lessons. Transportation provided to event; no public access. Parking for event will be at Carpinteria High School and shuttled to event. Note: This is an adult event only. Featured Guest Speakers: Sam Dudley, First Responder and Rincon Swim School family member, sharing firsthand stories about the importance of water safety. Calvin Thomas II, Board of Director with Hope Floats Foundation and Social Entrepreneur. With over 15 years in the Water Safety industry, he continues his social mission of teaching the water safety skill to every child, family and neighborhood. Here is our 'Why': - Drowning is the Leading Cause of Accidental Death in the U.S. for Ages 4 & Under and the 2nd Leading Cause of Accidental Death in the U.S. for Ages 14 & Under (CDC). - Lower socioeconomic status is associated with higher risk of drowning (WHO). - Participation in formal swim lessons reduces the risk of drowning by 88% (National Institute of Health, Arch Pediatric Adolescent Med, 2009). Let's bring the community together and uplift those who need it the most. Safety first!
