ORANGE...Jasper Ray did not reach his second birthday because of a 100 percent preventable tragedy. Drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for 1–4-year-olds. More children in this age group die by drowning than by traffic accidents.
Here is a link to Jasper’s story.

The Lodge presented two $1000.00 checks to Jonathan St. Clair, Jasper’s dad, on behalf of the Jasper Ray Foundation. Because of the Lodge and the Antlers donations, many underserved children in our community will be given swimming lessons that are so vital to water safety. So proud of our Lodge and our Antlers!
