Did you know that the leading cause of accidental death of children in
Arizona under the age of five is accidental drowning? With the prevalence of pools and canals throughout the Valley, every child should have the opportunity to learn how to swim so they are never at risk of drowning. 

The Y's swim programs provide critical safety around water knowledge and teach swimming skills. The Safety Around Water program teaches kids what to do if they fall into water. All parents take the "Water Watcher" pledge to ensure that kids are watched around water. 

Would you join me in donating $100 to provide one session of swim lessons to a deserving child in the Metro Phoenix area? It would be an enormous help and encouragement to others. 

Thank you for your consideration of a pledge or gift to the Valley of the Sun YMCAs 2022 annual support campaign.
