Walk for Water Safety

Cardon Children’s Medical Center has partnered with several community partners to bring you our 2012 Walk for Water Safety campaign.

We are uniting to educate the community about drowning prevention to work toward a common goal: ZERO drownings in 2012. We are targeting 60,000 homes to distribute information about drowning prevention.

How you can help

Communities throughout Arizona are seeking volunteers to pick up Water Safety information and distribute it throughout their neighborhoods on March 31, 2012. You can pick up as many as you like. For more information, contact a fire department below or talk to Injury Prevention Coordinator Tracey Fejt at (480) 412-3306.
