Today, on Juneteenth, we honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of the Black community. This day marks freedom, but also the continued fight for justice and equality.

Did you know that drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children with autism? Many are drawn to water, yet few have access to the specialized instruction needed to stay safe.
