Around 84% of the 150-plus people in who drown at U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) parks each year were not wearing a life jacket. To help counter this statistic, the USACE has put together its “Life jackets worn… Nobody mourns” campaign, for which the Corp Foundation has secured $1 million in funding.

Recently, the Corp Foundation announced that Progressive Insurance was providing significant support of the program’s life jacket loaner stations that are available USACE waterways across the country. To date, the program has reportedly made more than 5,450 adult life jackets available to boaters who may otherwise have gone without.
