Many affiliates, businesses and friends of the Society host
special events throughout the year to raise funds for the
Lifesaving Society's Water Smart® drowning prevention campaign.
Fundraising events create awareness and get people involved in
their communities.
Visit our website often to find out about fundraising events in
your community. Check our drowning prevention events around the
province listings for this year - there's always something going
on!

Event Planning Tool Kit
Whatever fundraising event(s) you decide upon, the event
planning tool kit helps with planning. The Event-in-a-Box is a
container full of materials intended to make organizing a community
fundraising event fun and easy.
The box contains items such as:
- "How-to" guide with step-by-step instructions
- Banners and balloons - and even a balloon blower
- Disposable camera to capture the magic moments of the
event
- "Thank you" goodies for participants
- Media releases to promote the event; and much more!
The tool kit (the "event-in-a-box" for 40 or more participants,
and "event-in-an-envelope" for less than 40 participants) holds
everything you need to run a successful event.
If you are an affiliate, call us today at 416-490-8844 to book
your tool kit. If you're not an affiliate but interested in
organizing a fundraising event for the Lifesaving Society, please
