Abbey's Hope Charitable Foundation

Education events: lifejacket event:drowning prevention data is hard to collect due to the varying causes of drownings, but the organization is actively working with the hennepin county water patrol and the mn dept of health to monitor drowning statistics in our state. With this data we can evaluate our programming, make changes and create new programs. A sharp increase in open water drownings led us to see the need for additional open water safety education and lifejacket usage training.

Public assistance: the organization uses a portion of the proceeds from its fundraising events to provide assistance to other 501(c)(3) organizations with purposes aligned with those outlined in Abbey's Hope mission statement. No contributions were made during this fiscal year.
