Focus Topic -
BSG |
The selection of a focus topic is designed to
increase awareness of a national issue at the local
level. It is a topic that we believe needs more
public awareness. Through our Grant Programs, we
will be able to reach more people at the local level
educating them about an issue that affects all
recreational boating. All applications with any
boating safety topic will be accepted. Applications
with a majority of the project devoted to the focus
topic will be given preferential treatment.

Light House Marine Services based in
Charlotte, North Carolina, produced a
national Carbon Monoxide PSA featuring Al
Unser (at left). Mr. Unser is not only a
race car driver but a boater who survived an
exposure to CO, the Focus Topic for 2004. |

For 2005, the Foundation is putting a special
emphasis on projects that promote the voluntary use
of life jackets for all boaters. “Encouraging the
voluntary use of PFD’s will help educate local
communities about the benefits of being safe while
enjoying the sport of boating”, said Chris Edmonston,
Director of Boating Safety Programs. The Foundation
encourages applications with an emphasis on this
focus topic, but will accept all applications
covering any boating safety issue.
