About Colin's Hope


Protect Kids. Empower Families. Prevent Drowning.

If you are unable to attend Best Day Ever, you can still help us reach our goals.

 

Best Day Ever is Colin’s Hope’s signature fundraiser, bringing our community together to raise $300,000 in support of life saving water safety education and drowning prevention programs. If you are unable to attend the evening's festivities and want to support our work, every gift helps extend this work to more Central Texas children and families.

 

After losing their four year old son Colin to drowning in 2008, Jeff Holst and Jana Holst founded Colin’s Hope with one clear purpose: to help prevent other families from experiencing the same tragedy. Your donation supports programs that remove barriers to safety and equip families with practical tools that save lives, including:

  • swim and water safety education for children

  • free life jacket access at parks and lakes

  • bilingual water safety resources for families and schools

  • outreach that connects trusted prevention messages to the community

 

Every dollar helps us build a culture of water safety where children are safer around water and families have the knowledge they need to act.

 

Together, we can create a world where children do not drown.
