On August 6, 2006, Josh&rsquo;s life was tragically cut short by drowning. In the midst of unimaginable loss, our family made a promise: Josh&rsquo;s story would not end in tragedy. It would become a legacy of hope, education, and lifesaving action.Today, that promise is The Josh Project. For two decades, Josh&rsquo;s legacy has opened doors for children and families by removing barriers to swim instruction, expanding water safety education, strengthening emergency preparedness, and creating opportunities that help save lives. But our work is far from finished.Every year, too many families experience the devastating impact of drowning. Together, we have the power to change that. Your gift will help provide lifesaving swim instruction, water safety education, emergency preparedness initiatives, and scholarships so that every child, regardless of their family&rsquo;s financial circumstances, has the opportunity to learn skills that could one day save their life. As we commemorate 20 years since Josh&rsquo;s passing, we invite you to become part of the next chapter of his legacy. Whether you give $20, $200, $2,000, or another meaningful amount, you are doing more than making a donation. You are investing in a future where more children come home safely. Together, we can honor Josh&rsquo;s legacy not only by remembering his life, but by protecting countless others. Recognition OpportunitiesAs a token of our appreciation, donors who make a gift of $200 or more will receive an individual recognition post on The Josh Project&rsquo;s social media platforms. Businesses and individuals who make a gift of $2,000 or more will also be recognized as a Legacy Partner in celebration of 20 years of carrying Josh&rsquo;s legacy forward.
