NSBC is honored to participate in #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to give back in impactful ways to the charities and causes they support. Held this year on Tuesday, December 3rd, the NSBC will focus on reaching youth with important life-saving boating safety education and training.

We believe today's youth are the future generation of boating safety advocates. Through our program, Skipper Club, we teach youth valuable safe boating lessons in the classroom and on the water. Save the date to support the NSBC on December 3 as we educate the next generation of safe boaters.

Encourage others to support the NSBC on #GivingTuesday on social media with the following posts and images:
