JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Florida Swims Foundation is launching the license plate program, saving lives from drowning.
This is what the license plate would look like on the back of your vehicle.
Currently the Florida Swimming Pool Association is trying to reach 3,000 sales so the Florida Department of Highway Safety can produce and distribute the plates.
100% of the proceeds will go towards funding swimming lessons, to reduce the leading cause of death for Florida children one to four years old– Drowning.
“We have a donor who has donated the first year for free so you can actually get this license plate on your vehicle at no charge for the first year and then past that to go directly to helping swimming lessons and funding the foundation,” said Don Ball, Florida Swims Foundation President.
