Our Shared Vision

Giving Tuesday is a day where the power of our community comes together to support nonprofits doing good in our communities and all around the world. 

We believe that water unites us and makes our communities stronger.

It is time to invest in the people within our community and build partnerships to realize new public aquatic facilities that provide safe inclusive places where everyone belongs and community connection fostered.

We are thrilled to share with you our first SPLASHForward vision video. We hope you enjoy it and are inspired by the individuals who shared their stories with us to reveal more intimately what access to water can do to change lives.

A group of generous SPLASHForward supporters have come together to create our first ever donor matching pool of $10,000. They will match all contributions dollar for dollar up to $10,000 to help us achieve our goal of raising $20,000. These funds will be used to build awareness with marketing and PR professional services and go towards our Aquatics Pathways and High School Lifeguard Training program initiatives.

With your support, you will help us tell our story to build awareness and create Aquatics Pathways for those that need it most in 2022.

We hope you will join us on Giving Tuesday and throughout your year-end giving to support SPLASHForward. Please share this email with a friend and tell them why you support us.

On this Giving Tuesday we will also take the time recognize the great work being done by our partners and other nonprofits that inspire us. Watch for shout outs throughout the day!

Thank you & in gratitude!

Co-Founder, Board President

SPLASHForward Behind the Scenes

It was an absolute pleasure getting to know Keisha during our filming. She is a successful woman on many fronts. What you may not realize in our vision video above is that this was the very first time she had ever been in a lap pool and the very first time going in deep water (13' at the Bellevue Aquatic Center deep pool). Both were two things she didn't think she would be doing when she agreed to lend her strong and powerful voice to our efforts.

Her swim instructor Cori Myka of Orca Swim School, shown here with Keisha, has worked with Keisha for several months to bring her to where she is today. They have a strong bond of trust and Cori's adult learn to swim program is amazing. We'll be sharing more on Keisha's story in the coming months. Orca Swim School is a SPLASHForward endorser who we are working with on our Aquatics Pathways initiatives. More to come!

Thank you for your support!
