J and I went to a bowling fundraiser yesterday for an organization called Zaven's Wishes. The organization provides financial assistance for childrens' swimming lessons. J and I are both big swimmers, having spent our childhood summers on swim team. We were even on our high school swim teams (shout out FHS Bulldogs and CHS Lions!). However, a lot of people in New Orleans and other urban areas do not know how to swim. I read an article last year that said USA Swimming Foundation research showed 70 percent of African American and 60 percent of Hispanic children don't know how to swim. That statistic is mind blowing! Such a large percentage! Water safety is of the utmost importance so hopefully, with lots of support, Zaven's Wishes can address the issue. Here are some pictures from the fundraiser...
