Prevention Over Profits

“After a 6-year-old girl drowned in 2019, two men alleged oversight failures by the nonprofit, which certifies 60% of the country’s lifeguards but trains none of them”

“In an apparently disturbing turn of events, an IRS tax document revealed that the owners of an Altadena summer camp where Roxie Forbes drowned wrote a $10,000 check to the Red Cross following allegations that the camp and the global nonprofit had engaged in a fake lifeguard certification scheme.”

“Roxie drowned due to a fraudulent lifeguard certification scheme enabled by the American Red Cross which willfully eliminated fraud prevention measures.”
