Cincinnati Recreation Foundation - Cincinnati: If 60 People Donate $10, Then the Cincinnati Recreation Foundation Can Sponsor Rec-Center Memberships for 20 Youths

The Issue: Teaching Kids to Swim Helps Prevent Accidents

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that drowning is the No. 1 cause of accidental death in children aged 1–4, and an average of three children die every day from drowning. Teaching youth to swim and be comfortable in the water can help prevent these accidents, in addition to providing them with another outlet for recreation.

The Campaign: Pool Memberships Acquaint Youth with Water

If this Grassroots campaign raises $600, then the Cincinnati Recreation Foundation (CRF) can provide a one-year membership to pools for 20 youth aged 17 and younger from low-income families. Each additional $20 raised will fund a one-year membership for another young person. The CRF offers swimming lessons for members, and maintains a supervised pool for youth to practice safe swimming.

You can follow the progress of this and other Grassroots campaigns at the Groupon Grassroots website.

Before- and after-school programs and summer camps offer an outlet where kids can learn and play outside of school, and many centers also sponsor therapeutic programs for people with disabilities.
