March 28. The Joshua Murray Boating, Safety, Education and Awareness Center, located at Blythe Landing, is inviting the community to a fundraising event on April 6, from 2 PM to 6 PM at Boatyard. This event aims to expand the center’s reach and continue providing free, high-quality boating safety education to the public.
Dedicated to saving lives on the water, the center has already made a significant impact in promoting boating safety. However, with the support of the community, we can achieve even more. The funds raised during this event will directly support vital initiatives, including:
-
- Launching the National Safe Boating Council’s Boat On Program: Bringing advanced, hands-on, on-water training to Lake Norman boaters.
- Providing essential safety equipment: Distributing life jackets, distress signals, and fire extinguishers during vessel safety inspections conducted by the USCG behind the center.
- Enhancing the education center: Upgrading materials, window graphics, new signage, and interactive displays to improve the visitor experience.
- Supporting youth programs and summer camps: Giving young boaters hands-on training, safety lessons, and unforgettable learning opportunities
The event at BoatYard will feature live music by The Stormin Normin Experience, and sponsor T-shirts will be available. Attendees will have the opportunity to contribute to a critical cause while enjoying an afternoon of entertainment.
Why This is Important
