We are excited to be returning to Olympic Hills Golf Club for our 12th annual Abbey's Hope Golf Tournament.
As you may know, in June 2007, Abigail Taylor was entrapped by the suction from an uncovered pool drain. Abbey fought for her life through 16 surgeries, a liver transplant, kidney dialysis, and chemotherapy. Sadly after 10 months of fighting, Abbey passed away from her injuries. Her hope was that no child would again suffer or die as the result of a preventable entrapment or drowning. The Abbey's Hope Charitable Foundation works tirelessly on her behalf and in her memory.
Since the launch of our Foundation and with the passage of legislation which the Foundation helped to enact, no child has died as a result of entrapment. We believe our efforts have played a large role in this success. Unfortunately, traditional forms of drowning still plague our community and state. Last year, a record number of children and adults died from this completely preventable accident. So much work still needs to be done.
This event isn't the success it has been for the last 11 years without a great group of volunteers. Individuals can sign up for shifts or specific roles to volunteer for by filing out the google link below.

Description
In June 2007, 6 year old Abigail Taylor was entrapped and disemboweled by the suction from an uncovered pool drain. Abbey fought bravely but sadly after 9 months of fighting, Abbey passed away. Early in her fight, Abbey said that her hope was that no child would ever suffer as she did. In her name, Abbey’s Hope Charitable Foundation champions for pool safety by educating, promoting and upholding safety standards for all pools.
Abbey's Hope is a nonprofit focused on educating parents and kids about the dangers in and around the pool. We do this by not only educating parent and kids, but also by working with pool industry professionals to create partnerships. In addition, we partner with other safety nonprofits and family foundations focused on pool safety.
We educate and advocate for safer pools through safety programs, marketing throughout the community and through legislation. We have multiple volunteer opportunities for all events and markets and we would love to have you be a part of Abbey's Hope. We look forward to meeting with you!
Safer Pools. Safer Kids.
