Waterfront Safety Group Seeks Donations for Educational, Memorial Initiatives

The Port Washington Waterfront Safety Advisory Committee that formed following 15-year-old Tyler Buczek's drowning death has launched a fundraising campaign to help with its planned initiatives.

The committee hopes to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to an Ozaukee Press article, for items such as educational signs and programs as well as a memorial that will honor Buczek — who drowned while swimming on North Beach in September — and in March 2012.

The commitee will actively seek donations from community groups, the article said.
