Long Beach Grunions

Saturday, June 15 - Long Beach

Our team came together on Saturday, June 15th, for a great cause. We proudly presented a check for $3000 to Aquatic Capital of America to support their initiative, "Water Proof Our Youth", within Long Beach. This donation will make a difference in the lives of local children by funding essential swim lessons.

Aquatic Capital of America is a local non-profit organization whose mission is to eliminate drowning and injuries among youth through education and swimming lessons. Their initiative ensures that all children, regardless of their financial means, have access to resources that teach them how to swim, making our community safer and more inclusive.
