Amber Smith, wife of country singer Granger Smith, announced her partnership with a drowning prevention organization. The goal is to raise awareness about water safety and prevent tragic accidents.
A Personal Mission
Amber Smith has a deeply personal reason for this cause. In 2019, the Smiths lost their three-year-old son, River, in a drowning accident at their home. Since then, Amber has been dedicated to promoting water safety. She wants to ensure other families do not face the same tragedy.
In her statement, Amber said, “Losing River was the hardest thing we’ve ever been through. If we can help prevent even one family from experiencing this pain, it will be worth it.”
Partnership Details
Amber Smith is partnering with the National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA). The NDPA is a non-profit organization focused on reducing the number of drowning incidents through education, public awareness, and advocacy.
Amber will work with the NDPA to create educational materials, hold events, and promote water safety tips. The partnership aims to reach a broad audience, including parents, caregivers, and children. The focus will be on providing practical advice and resources.
Educational Campaigns
One of the key components of this partnership is the launch of a new educational campaign. This campaign will include a series of videos, social media posts, and community events. The content will cover topics such as the importance of swimming lessons, constant supervision near water, and the use of life jackets.
Amber will appear in many of these videos, sharing her story and encouraging others to take water safety seriously. She believes that personal stories can have a powerful impact on raising awareness.
Community Involvement
The partnership will also focus on community involvement. Amber and the NDPA plan to host events across the country. These events will include water safety workshops, swimming lessons, and demonstrations of safety equipment.
Amber hopes that by engaging directly with communities, they can make a real difference. “We want to meet people where they are. Every community is different, and we need to address their specific needs,” she said.
Support from Granger Smith
Granger Smith, Amber’s husband, is fully supportive of her efforts. He has also been vocal about the importance of water safety since their son’s accident. Granger will participate in some of the events and campaigns, lending his platform to further the cause.
Granger said, “Amber’s dedication to this cause is inspiring. We both want to honor River’s memory by helping others stay safe.”
Impact and Goals
The ultimate goal of this partnership is to reduce the number of drowning incidents. Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death in children under five. By raising awareness and educating the public, Amber and the NDPA hope to change this statistic.
The partnership will measure its impact through various metrics, such as the number of educational materials distributed, attendance at events, and feedback from participants. They aim to create lasting change in how people approach water safety.
A Continuing Legacy
For Amber Smith, this partnership is about more than just raising awareness. It is a way to honor her son’s memory and ensure his legacy lives on through positive action.
In her closing remarks, Amber said, “River’s life was short, but his impact can be long-lasting. We want to turn our pain into purpose and make a difference in the world.”
