Wear It Ohio!

Wear It Ohio!

The “Wear It Ohio!” Campaign will cruise four state park lake locations in Ohio from May 17 through July 12 to deliver YOU good times and fun in the sun while wearing a life jacket!

Visit our Wear It Ohio! tent to spin the prize wheel. If you answer a boating safety question correctly, you get a prize!

You may also have the opportunity to take part in our inflatable lifejacket loaner program (while supplies last). You can sign up at the event or bring this Pledge Card with you.
