Events
Water Safety and Summer Heat Awareness | LLG
Valley of the Sun J 12701 N Scottsdale Rd #201, Scottsdale, AZ, United StatesSummer in Arizona brings sunshine, pool days, and time with family, but it also comes with responsibilities that can make all the difference.
Lebovitz Law Group is partnering with The J for a Water Safety and Summer Heat Awareness event focused on keeping our families safe during the hottest months of the year. We will share practical, easy-to-follow tips about pool safety, supervision, hydration, and how to prevent heat-related emergencies.
Even a few minutes in extreme heat or around open water can become dangerous. Small reminders, simple habits, and increased awareness can help protect the people who matter most.
This event is about preparation, prevention, and looking out for one another. When we stay informed and aware, we create safer summers for everyone.
We’re here and we care because strong communities start with safe families!
