Just read about the eight year old donor from Mt. Lebanon. Great stuff!
From USASwimming.org:
The USA Swimming Foundation recently received a donation from one of our youngest donors. Danny, from Mt. Lebanon, Pa. recently sent in a donation to the USA Swimming Foundation. He wrote, "I hope my donation helps. I am in the third grade. My name is Danny and I am 8 years old and I hope African-Americans can learn how to swim."

Thank you for Splash and Cullen Jones. As an Aquatic professional I thank you and your colleagues for your passion and true commitment of bringing attention to an issue that has in recent months here in Fort Lauderdale brought sadness in my soul. Many or most of the drownings are preventable, but due to the neglect of the adults in whose care these children are left with, somehow find their way to the pool and the ending is never good. I am happy to know that we can come together with great ideas to save our children from drowning and make sure that the parents are onboard with the information of creating a safe enviroment around the home and pool.

To Make a Splash and Cullen Jones, I would like to take the time to applaud your passion and commitment to the overwhelming need to draw national attention to the issue of reducing the number of unintentional drownings among children of color. It is a big concern in the Ft. lauderdale area and we are looking at ways of bringing people together for the purpose of defining a program that will begin the process of addressing this national crisis. I would like to know if you are planning on an event in Browrd County in the near future and if so when do you anticipate that would be? It is my hope that we will see you soon. Also if there is anything we can do to help facilitate this please let me know. Thanks again for what you do.
