National Safe Boating Week

Safe Boating Campaign 2019 Events

• Wear Your Life Jacket to Work Day | May 17: Hosted by the National Safe Boating Council, this
annual event is a fun, educational way to heighten life jacket awareness and highlight the various
styles just prior to the official launch of the Safe Boating Campaign. Anyone can join in this fun
event! Wear your life jacket to work, snap a picture while at work and share on social media with the hashtags #lifejacket2work and #safeboating.

 

• National Safe Boating Week | May 18-24: The Safe Boating Campaign kicks off the weekend before Memorial Day with National Safe Boating Week and continues throughout the year. Find partners in your local community who support the Safe Boating Campaign and find out how you can get
involved in outreach events at safeboatingcampaign.com. Remember, any time you’re boating, set an example for others and always wear a life jacket and boat responsibly.

 

• Ready, Set, Wear It | Dates Vary By Local Partners: Previously only offered on select dates
throughout the summer, Ready, Set, Wear It is now implemented by campaign partners on various
dates throughout the summer boating season. This family-friendly event teaches boaters about the
importance of always wearing a life jacket, along with helpful care and maintenance information.
With a bit of fun along the way! This may be a standalone event or incorporated into other local
outreach efforts. #RSWI2019
