You may be shocked (just as I was) to learn what the leading cause of accidental death for 1 to 4-year-olds is.
Drowning is the number one cause of death for children in this age group, surpassing traffic accidents.
In 2022, there were 113 drowning incidents in Orange County, and 47 of those were fatal.
What makes this more tragic is that drowning is entirely preventable.
Jasper Ray Foundation is a nonprofit organization raising awareness to support drowning prevention efforts. On October 26, it’s hosting its second annual 5K run, and the funds raised will go towards educating under-resourced families in Orange County on how to prevent these tragedies.
My firm and I are proud to sponsor this event.
