Walk for Water Safety

Cardon Children's Medical Center has partnered with several community partners to bring you our 2013 Walk for Water Safety campaign.

We are uniting to educate the community about drowning prevention to work toward a common goal: ZERO drownings in 2013. We are targeting 100,000 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 April 6, 2013. Check with your city contact to find the events they are doing. 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.
