Earlier this year I was honored to accept the role of leading the Ben Carlson Foundation's International Lifeguard Outreach Team. We provide training, equipment, and support all over the world to reduce drownings and save lives.
To better understand how your donation will be used, here are some highlights just from 2026 alone:
Puerto Rico:
Funded the first ever Junior Lifeguard Program.
Sponsored 10 Beach Guardian Programs across the island that educated local communities on water safety.
Helped structure and equip the first Lifeguard Department recognized by the government.
Puerto Escondido, Mexico :
Partnership with BWRAG to train 40 Spanish-speaking water safety instructors.
Hosted a seminar on basic first aid, CPR, and rescue skills for 200+ community members.
Baja & Nicaragua
Provided new uniforms, buoys, fins, AEDs, a rescue sled, and other essential lifeguarding equipment.
Your donation literally saves lives. I work very hard to make sure every dollar goes directly to those who need it and in the most effective way possible. Thank you for helping our mission!
