Philanthropy - Norwalk, Connecticut, United States
On January 1, 1989, a 21-month old toddler, Stew Leonard III, lost his life in a drowning accident. This sparked his parents, Kim and Stew Leonard Jr., to pledge that they would do everything in their power to prevent this tragedy from striking other families, since drowning is the leading cause of accidental death in children under five. In 1990, they founded the Stew Leonard III Water Safety Foundation in memory of their son. Since this time, the Foundation has raised more than $2 million for water safety awareness and education, including providing swim scholarships and lifeguard training, along with writing and publishing two children's books on water safety, Stewie the Duck Learns to Swim and Swim Time with Stewie the Duck, and a mobile game and free water safety app available on iTunes, Amazon Kindle HD and Google Play.
