Buy, Buckle, Save - Raising Funds to Provide Life Jackets for Kids

About this campaign

Funds raised from shirt sales go to purchase life jackets to donate for children. Buckling up children in life jackets saves lives. It's as basic as Buy, Buckle, Save! 

Shirts will be shipped in time to get them to you by Labor Day. Not only will your purchase provide life jackets for kids, but wearing your shirt can help raise awareness about the importance of wearing life jackets in general and could save even more lives! Make a lifesaving statement this Labor Day holiday :)

Here's their story. The Note & Float program was started simply to save lives by preventing drowning. Note and Float Life Jacket Fund donates life jackets to swimming pools in need. 

When we identify ("Note") non-swimmers at swimming pools and require non-swimmers wear life jackets ("Float"), lives are saved. We know this because Note & Float typically cuts rescues in half AND doubles swim lesson enrollment! 

Where do funds go? 

1. Life jackets are purchased with funds raised 

2. Life jackets are donated to swimming pools with high risks for drowning that cannot afford them 

3. The life jackets keep kids safely floating on the surface of the water for years to come and inspire children to learn to swim to enjoy the water for a lifetime.

A TikTok celeb's son drowned; it wasn't 'unimaginable'

By
  Tuesday, May 20, 2025 A TikTok celeb's son drowned; it wasn't 'unimaginable' We interrupt our national fistfight over, well, everything to report that a little boy named Trigg has died. The May 18 passing of 3-year-old Trigg Kiser made national news because his mother, Emilie, is what's known as an influencer on Tik Tok. His death, we are told, is "unimaginable." But it's really not. We in Arizona aren't shocked. At least, we shouldn't be. We can't afford to be. Drowning is the leading cause of death nationally in children who are 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 years old. Even more so in Arizona, where pools are plentiful and disaster mere seconds away. Mere seconds, especially now, as summer approaches. Thirty-one children drowned in Arizona in 2023, according to the latest report from the state Child Fatality Review Program. Most were under 5 years old. Every one of those deaths was preventable. Every one, a damn tragedy. It shouldn't need saying...
