A big thank you to our water safety partners at Phoenix Children's Hospital for visiting Lake Patrol and donating 90 child-sized life jackets. 🛟

Their team also shared important information about teen safety around open water, encouraging parents to have conversations with their teens before they head out to lakes, rivers, pools, or canals with friends. Water safety starts with awareness, preparation, and making smart decisions. Together, we can help prevent tragedies and keep Arizona families safe this summer. ☀️
