Introducing: ReesSpecht Life Saver!

We are thrilled to announce the ReesSpecht Life Foundation’s new partner and National Program Sponsor: Life Saver Pool Fence Systems!
 
Our Partnership (officially dubbed: ReesSpecht Life Saver) will help grow our reach nationally and expand our programs like “ReesSpecht the Water” and “Cultivate Kindness” school assembly programs, as well as help us get our next book, “A Little Rees Specht Stops a Bully” published (stay tuned for more info!).
