About Je'Sani Smith Foundation
The Je'Sani Smith Foundation's purpose is to save lives by providing education, awareness, and water skills training on beach safety, seaward-flowing water currents, and other coastal hazards.
Increasing awareness of natural conditions that pose an imminent danger and risk at beaches, such as rip currents, is a crucial component to improving public health and safety. Preventing open water drownings is accomplished by educating the public using social media, advertising, virtual reality, and in-person presentations and engagement.
Public outreach includes, but is not limited to, participating in community, school, and business events and programs, collaborating with businesses and organizations across the state of Texas and beyond, and visiting beaches to distribute safety brochures and promotional products for marketing, visibility, and giveaways, as well as increasing awareness where incidents have occurred in the past and are statistically likely to reoccur.
In addition, educational materials are distributed at schools, sporting events, businesses, organizations, public speaking venues, and on-site at beach locations.
