To change it up this year we are also going to do a presentation about Shallow Water/Hypoxic Blackout. We want to share the Awareness aspect of our foundation with all of our Friends of Live Like Benjo. So come to the zoom meeting and maybe learn something new or get ideas on what you should tell people about Shallow Water/Hypoxic Blackout when spreading awareness yourself. https://www.livelikebenjo.org/happenings/live-like-benjo-at-the-old-fashioned-harvest-market monthly 0.5 2023-09-19 https://www.livelikebenjo.org/happenings/live-like-benjo-annual-meeting monthly 0.5 2022-12-14 https://www.livelikebenjo.org/happenings/event-one-ksb3g monthly 0.5 2022-08-09 https://www.livelikebenjo.org/happenings/event-five-ykcty monthly 0.5 2022-08-03 https://www.livelikebenjo.org/home daily 1.0 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613682883355-UZQN8BZEQG74LOVOUNJ8/Tervis-Cup-Benjo.jpg Home Logo Designed by Dave Mullin-Sticker Fam Owner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613089185596-2CYRUB02EANLLGOG13YC/535969_10100909382097883_1625592919_n.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613089086492-YZ4ZWT0JFUJSAVDL1EW1/10565285_10102470813372093_8679073695947828089_n.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613088936499-88WPPSZHX368UDPKT6O7/34023_535016815001_939335_n.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613438731696-9GDRA2D8M3CYKMGHE81X/IMG_1648.jpg Home Leave Lasting Impressions https://www.livelikebenjo.org/swb daily 0.75 2024-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613686419070-7UPBPNXHRGU1EWBUSL96/Screen-Shot-2017-08-09-at-1.42.40-PM.jpg Shallow Water/Hypoxic Blackout https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613087967837-3CIGM4Y28LICWPBG2BCE/image-asset.jpeg Shallow Water/Hypoxic Blackout - BEST PRACTICES Always have a buddy, and keep a close eye on each other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613086145621-JK5N6X9FK5E9MA3EG4KR/4D430A54-7ED7-4A98-B99F-27EF44E7B9A2.JPG Shallow Water/Hypoxic Blackout - COPY and SHARE this photo so more people can learn the danger of SHALLOW WATER/HYPOXIC BLACKOUT https://www.livelikebenjo.org/programs daily 0.75 2024-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613421644544-WRVSOIH1WHHVDDCKD3RM/23915551_2121846098043092_1559610119372531074_n.jpg Programs - Our Annual Benjamin C. Haller Memorial Learn to Sail Program has given a week of sailing instruction to dozens of local youth. We previously used instructors from our Partner, The International Sailing School in Mallets Bay, VT. When the school was taken away, Robin and our Board worked hard to find a new home for the program. We are currently partnering with the Community Sailing Center in Burlington, VT. We work closely with The Burlington Boys and Girls Club to give kids the opportunity to Live Like Benjo for the week. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613422042285-35A7K1UCHNPUSJWKRWWX/swbpsignage.jpg Programs - We strive to spread the word about Shallow Water/Hypoxic Blackout (SWB/HB) across the State of Vermont and beyond annually. We have displays up in local pools and interstate rest stops. We plan to expand our education outlets in the near future to include presentations to swimming teams, aquatics departments and other water venues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1614982712531-BVT3PA7BTAWPMLPDKIUY/9B0F15D3-4A21-485C-8BF0-9E6B5BA219A8.PNG Programs Those who knew Benjo knew sailing wasn't his only past time. We have worked hard to incorporate a Ski Program as well as a SCUBA Program to our list of activities. By adding two more sports we have new groups to talk to about shallow water/hypoxic blackout and get more individuals out there getting to Live Like Benjo. We currently run an annual Try SCUBA program. It is held time during the summer. And would not be made possible with out our partner Waterfront Diving Center in Burlington, VT. Our skiing program is still developing, but we are happy to say we have given scholarships two winter seasons in a row to youth who would benefit most from our support to get out on the mountains., https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613423739087-GHOVVF5N0PXO5FUIH5JH/167486_10100940997764833_191262721_n.jpg Programs - WHATS NEXT? We have put together a strong group of individuals committed to making a difference with The Live Like Benjo Foundation. We are always looking for new partners and corporate sponsors to get more involved and put their name next to ours as we make a difference. https://www.livelikebenjo.org/meet-the-board daily 0.75 2024-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1614908897811-PZIDL6NC1DLQ6T542VI4/unnamed.png Meet the Board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/a14e739b-a4d8-4bc4-b884-1e9fd4a28b75/IMG_0295.JPG Meet the Board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/e342f6ff-5d4f-4ab3-93ac-68343416620f/Shawn+Hill.jpeg Meet the Board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/e9982088-92d0-4f77-b748-8730027abe3d/Kids+2.jpg Meet the Board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/274321e2-473b-478e-9156-71029de3f35f/Laurie+for+bio.jpg Meet the Board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/ba0a9d00-0710-444e-bf22-32f7f1cec4d8/tempImagerGijf3.jpg Meet the Board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/b6d1dce2-91d0-4ae0-b80d-53c573a67ad5/FB_IMG_1558088595095.jpg Meet the Board https://www.livelikebenjo.org/what-we-do daily 0.75 2024-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/579e1498-0592-4f96-b80a-b93faf0e6c79/IMG_2211.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/7395d8ea-146a-48b2-bf2f-c8158c0a9ffb/IMG_8206.jpg https://www.livelikebenjo.org/media daily 0.75 2021-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613514346132-6UYGQYGC16A3T9KLEP3V/1604561_10201020784512697_342594638_n.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613514345586-K83I0HHES1A0OA9YGLNT/1916956_96519909212_7021898_n.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613514447778-60W194GTU3KK9L2RAJTC/tempImageu1LhJf.png Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613514411782-4QV1ZOX4MAF33EAJ6IKH/IMG_20200704_183511.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613514687482-9FTJLEIKS4P6XXJYSVQR/IMG_1210.JPG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613514703523-ZLOPZB3SO9DGYS8FZWJ4/IMG_1599.JPG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613514688092-XMBO2ZENIXE7UVVWVXA1/IMG_1648.JPG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613514705293-4NXQWMXB9R863EHUHFT4/IMG_1750.JPG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613514707867-NR64QQBM44LY2KHVUW4N/IMG_1770.JPG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613514702379-LK57ARKEKEEZEFSUAG9M/IMG_9825.JPG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613514691484-SEK2UFQ6GNOKVEUHXBLN/Turtle_recent.png Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/9531a884-f006-41de-838a-fde86a3a01d3/9B206371-83E2-4E1D-A94C-9E8B75651C86.JPG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/02b6f115-acce-475e-ae49-60d4ea157095/tempImageG9gB5S.png Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/999f1ca1-ef27-41ea-98d7-7b28ecaa5a29/61852AE8-C515-4ECA-BEDC-6B3ACE05DC7C.JPG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/1613514915936-JZN3QEECJ8VYL9RLFRD2/GOPR2249.JPG Media https://www.livelikebenjo.org/the-dream-team daily 0.75 2024-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60258f67e32ce56c9c2f8611/7553d411-abec-478d-ba46-0442b043ea19/48413387_2575208402497163_3412570036018085888_n.png The Dream Team - Green Mountain Power Colchester, VT Green Mountain Power (GMP) is one of our Corporate Sponsors.
