did you give the lifjackets away of must people pay for it?

[BoatUSFoundation]

The life jackets are loaned out as part of our Life Jacket Loaner program. We have sites all over the US that are given life jackets and the supplies needed to run a site through our application process. We do accept donations, for this and other programs (we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization), but we do not charge boaters for the loaned life jackets.

Thanks so much! I was worried that my son's pfd was too small as is short on him but everything still can be done up & is snug but not loose!

I'm curious to know about the loaner life jacket program. I'm in Canada & have an infant neoprene jacket that I can't use b/c I purchased it for a boating outing in the States.
