Win A Free Life Jacket and Help Make the Waters Safer

Why do people take pledges? To show their dedication and passion for a worthy cause! In 2015, 85% of recreational boating drowning victims were not wearing a life jacket. The National Safe Boating Council believes wearing a life jacket is the simplest life-saving strategy during recreational water activities. We created the Wear It! Life Jacket Pledge so that you may help spread the word about the most important piece of boating safety gear – your life jacket!

Don’t miss out on our Safe Summer Giveaway Contest to show your support of the Wear It! Life Jacket Pledge. The contest will run from August 1 through August 12 on the National Safe Boating Council’s Facebook page: http://bit.ly/2b162hA. Here’s how to enter:
