Memorial memberships are now being offered by the NDPA. This is a great way to honor your child or loved one and be a part of an organization that is dedicated to water safety.
Below are the memberships that are available:
PRIMARY MEMORIAL MEMBERSHIP (No Charge)
The NDPA Primary Memorial Membership is designed for any person who would like to join the NDPA in memory of an immediate family member who died from a drowning-related incident. The Primary Memorial Membership is set-up in the name of the family member who establishes this membership as the holder of the primary membership, and allows other people to join the NDPA as a Memorial Tribute Member under your family’s Primary Memorial Membership. The Primary Memorial Member will receive an annual report showing the other Memorial Tribute Memberships that are connected with the Primary Memorial Membership, as well as the amount of donations that were received by the NDPA in memory of your loved one.
MEMORIAL TRIBUTE MEMBERSHIP (minimum $25 donation)
The NDPA Memorial Tribute Membership is designed for family and friends of a person with a Primary Memorial Membership. This allows family and friends to join the NDPA in memory of someone who has died from a drowning-related incident. The membership donation is discounted to $25, but additional donations made to the NDPA through this membership type will help further the NDPA’s mission to prevent drowning.

My five year old autistic son, Mason, escaped the house on July 27 and went across the street to a neighbor's pond where he drowned. He died on July 29th.
ReplyDeleteWe miss him more than it is possible to say. Life goes on, but that doesn't necessarily mean you want it to.
We are trying to prevent this from happening again. 1 out of ever 110 children is autistic. 92% of autistic children wander. The number one cause of death among autistic children is drowning.
We are trying to start an alert called the Mason Alert. Would you please review it and if you think it is worthwhile, pass it on.
