$500 – Be a www.DrowningIsPreventable.org Champion

This donation level will help Colin’s Hope continue to run our NEW curriculum website (www.drowningispreventable.org) so that we can bring our proven Water Safety with Colin & Friends curriculum to children and families in any classroom, camp, or home. The curriculum lessons focus on 5 key rules that can help children make safer choices around all types of water, such as waiting for an adult before going in or near water and wearing a life jacket. The curriculum includes activities, songs, water safety games, and even a science experiment. The program is evidence-based, evaluated for efficacy, and proven with statistical significance to increase children’s water safety knowledge! This is truly a gift that keeps on giving by encouraging educational ripples of positive cultural change.

 $100 – Sponsorship of Water Safety & Swim Lessons for One Child

Colin’s Hope has been a long-time provider of water safety programs across Central Texas. Our Water Safety with Colin & Friends collaboration has been a successful example of our programs. Your $100 donation can fuel this education initiative by providing 1 child with swim lessons through a local swim provider and water safety lessons from our Water Safety With Colin & Friends Curriculum. Colin’s Hope works year-round with generous community partners to share this course with children and their families at little to no cost. 

$50 – 2 Life Jackets for Our Life Jacket Loaner Stations

Life jackets are essential drowning prevention tools. Your donation can help Colin’s Hope provide infant, child, youth, or adult life jackets to one of many waterfront Life Jacket Loaner Stations. These stations allow lake visitors to borrow a jacket on the honor system and enjoy a safer day on the water. Gift life jackets today and they may end up at McKinney Falls or one of our other sponsored loaner stations.

Down Home

Join Down Home’s 6th Annual Good Night Sleep Challenge!

Down Home’s mission is to empower lives for families and individuals emerging from homelessness.  Founded in 2017, DH serves families in the Fargo-Moorhead area. To date, DH has furnished over 200 homes, impacting over 500 lives, and providing further connections beyond the move-in day. Down Home ends the cycle of homelessness by creating homes and a community where people find stability, dignity, comfort, and connection.

Have you ever had to sleep on the floor for weeks on end?
100% of the families we serve do not have the funds to purchase beds for all the people in their home. Entering housing is an important step in the journey of emerging from homelessness, yet four walls is not enough to solve the problem. The reality is that thousands of men, women, and children in our community are sleeping on the floor - not by choice. We have the power to change that! 

Join us for the month of May to build awareness, empathy, and impact for the people in our community who go without a good night’s sleep.

Take the Challenge!

1.	Try to sleep 1 night on the floor
2.	Post photo/reflection on FB/IG with #DHSleepChallenge and tag Down Home.
3.	Tag 3 friends to take the sleep challenge

Make an Impact/Pay It Forward:
1.	Give the gift of a Good Night’s Sleep to a Down Home family!

How much does it cost?
For a single mother with two children, it can cost close to $1,500 to provide a Good Night Sleep to her family.

* A gift of $50 will purchase 3 sheet sets
* A gift of $65 will purchase 3 mattress pads
* A gift of $113 will purchase 6 pillows
* A gift of $267 will purchase 3 bed frames

Children's Wisconsin Foundation

Third Coast Wealth Advisors, Destination Kohler, and Thrivent are teaming with Children’s Wisconsin for Live Your Best Life 2025 at The Baths of Blackwolf Run! This year’s golf event will be held on Saturday, August 23 and all funds raised will once again go to the life-saving work at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. 

“Live Your Best Life” is inspired by Caroline Risseeuw’s journey. Born June 10, 2020, she was diagnosed with congenital heart defects (CHD) and other pulmonary challenges. After undergoing three open-heart surgeries and intensive care for 10 months she continues to grow and catch-up on her development at home. Caroline would not be with us today if not for the caring, world-class medical teams at Children’s Wisconsin. She is able to live her best life!  There are many children and families in our community impacted by the life-saving care provided by Children’s Wisconsin.  This event supports and celebrates all of these children including Truman going through cancer treatments, Shannon who suffered from a life-threatening eating disorder, Henry who has been diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder, and countless others.

100% of the proceeds will be donated to Children's Wisconsin goal of helping the children of Wisconsin be the healthiest in the nation.

For every $2 donated through this online campaign, Thrivent will add $1, up to an additional $10,000. Thrivent will pay up to $300,000 in online processing fees per calendar year for personal donations made through Thrivent's online giving platform.
