Wear Your Life Jacket to Work Day on May 19

Posted

FORT MYERS BEACH — The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Fort Myers Beach encourages all boaters to participate in Wear Your Life Jacket at Work Day on May 19, 2023, the day before National Safe Boating Week. No matter where boaters are working, they can join in the fun by wearing their life jacket and posting creative pictures on social media for a chance to win a prize. This is a great way to encourage others to boat responsibly.

How to Participate

Boaters share a picture of themselves wearing a life jacket at work (or home) on social media along with the hashtag #wearyourlifejacketatworkday and tag @boatingcampaign (Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram).

Don’t use social media? Email photos to outreach@safeboatingcouncil.org.

Chance to Win a Prize

Winners will be chosen randomly throughout the day by the Safe Boating Campaign to receive boating swag from the Safe Boating Campaign, such as t-shirts, dry bags, first aid kits, stickers, and more.

National Safe Boating Week runs from May 20 through May 26 and promotes safe boating practices and the importance of wearing life jackets while boating. More information on updated events can be found on the Fort Myers Beach Coast Guard Auxiliary Facebook page (https://Facebook.com/AUX91FMB).

The US Coast Guard Auxiliary is the leading agency in recreational boating safety, protecting America’s seaward frontier. The Coast Guard Auxiliary is the civilian component of the US Coast Guard and supports them in almost all mission areas. They deploy vessels and aircraft daily across the US to save countless boaters and property damage. For more information, visit https://www.cgaux.org/.
