Why Water Safety Matters:

A Call to Action


Are you passionate about safeguarding our future generations? At B2B Devon Matthews Memorial Foundation, we’re not just an organization; we’re a force committed to cultivating a water safety culture and saving lives through education and awareness.

Who We Are:
We are the heartbeat of change, rooted in the vibrant Metro area of Saint Louis, MO, and East Saint, IL. Our mission is clear: to shed light on the hidden perils lurking beneath the serene waters flowing into the Mississippi River, especially around the Arnold and Oakville areas. Our focus extends to the Meramec River, a breathtaking waterway that embodies freedom but harbors risks unknown to many. We’re dedicated to fostering a community that embraces safe swimming practices in Meramec and Dent County, Missouri.

What We Do:
The Blessed 2 B Foundation doesn’t just talk the talk; we walk the walk, making waves in life-saving initiatives. Our purpose is crystal clear—to transform lives and prevent unnecessary tragedies in the water. Together, we can rewrite the narrative of swimming accidents that claim
lives needlessly. We’re here to arm communities with the knowledge and tools they need to swim safely. We aim to teach, inspire, and instill awareness, empowering individuals to embrace swimming safety in every stroke.

Join us in this vital mission to create a safer, more informed environment around water bodies. Your support means more than just a donation; it’s a contribution toward preventing heartaches ensuring that every individual, young and old, can revel in the joys of swimming without fear.

Scripture of Hope: Isaiah 43:2 (NIV)

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
