our mission

PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITY

Our goals as a foundation are to educate on water awareness, beach condition flag warnings, rip currents, and safety.

Life Jackets + Swim Lessons

To date, we've donated 45 life jackets and 25 swim lessons to help promote water safety.

Partnership

We're proud to partner with other organizations focused on water safety to help maximize efforts nationwide.

Emergency Life Buoys

We're currently discussing plans to place rescue buoys near the boat launches and docks along Bayou Lafourche, along with life jacket stations.

“It’s one thing when someone will jump in on behalf of a family member, a loved one, a friend — but when somebody will jump into waters and it’s just to try to rescue people that they’ve never even met... I mean, that’s just completely selfless."

#LIVELIKELAYNE

The Layne Paul Gravois Foundation was created as a way to honor the life Layne lived, his ultimate sacrifice, and to keep his memory alive. The funds we raise go directly toward college scholarships for individuals who live their lives like Layne, and toward water safety measures to keep our community safe.
