ABOUT the aqua cares foundation

For most, the word “home” conjures feelings of safety, warmth, and security. The truth is, most mishaps at home can be easily prevented, which is why it's so important to take the necessary — and often fairly simple measures to do so. This is especially the case for families with young children or seniors. The last thing you want is to be confronted with a dangerous situation and find that it is too late to do something about it. 

Like many things, home safety begins with awareness. That is why Aqua Plumbing & Air, a local heating, air conditioning, water treatment, and plumbing company, is proud to announce the creation of the Aqua Cares Foundation, a new 501(c)(3) organization that educates the community on how to keep you and your family healthy and safe through education, training, and advocacy.

While the company still prioritizes giving back to the community each year, the new Aqua Cares Foundation has a TV show that provides home safety tips, provides education workshops on home safety, and also has a children's program hosted by Howie the Home Safety Hound. 

“The number of deaths in the home increased by 21.1%. The rate of preventable injury-related deaths occurring in or around the home has increased by 272% since 1999. These alarming statics is why we created the Aqua Cares Foundation. At Aqua, giving back is a big part of who we are,” said Skip Stanton, co-owner of Aqua Plumbing & Air. “Not only is it good to give back, but we also believe it is our responsibility as business owners to show good corporate social responsibility.”

“Importance of home safety is synonymous with the importance of practicing safety in its entirety. Keeping your home free of dangers and equipped with home safety education can prevent mundane accidents such as falls and can protect you from emergencies like fires. We are committed to improving the lives of our customers while also supporting our community and giving back.” said Chuck Jacobson, co-owner of Aqua Plumbing & Air. “The creation and structure of the Aqua Cares Foundation will help us create an even greater impact and allow us to plan and maximize the power of our community support.”
