2. INTRODUCTION
 Executive Jeffrey Steven Drobny (Jeff) recognizes need in every
sphere. A founding member of Garda Capital Partners
(gardacp.com) of Minneapolis, MN, Jeff Drobny saw the need for
a firm specializing in fixed-income trading strategies. Formerly of
Scottsdale, Arizona, but now a resident of the Minneapolis area,
Mr. Drobny supports the Abbey’s Hope Charitable Foundation,
headquartered in the nearby community of Edina, MN.
Abbey’s Hope, founded in 2008 after the death of six-year-old
Abbey Taylor, works to make swimming and wading pools safer to
use. Abbey died from injuries received from an improperly
maintained wading pool drain, the foundation’s website says.
Long winters in Minneapolis attract families to indoor pools and
water parks, and most assume that the pools are safe.

3. ABBEY’S HOPE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
 The website warns that that may not be the case. It also notes that
drowning is second only to car crashes as the leading cause of death
and injury among children ages 1 to 14 years.
Abbey’s Hope recommends continuous adult supervision when children
wade or swim and provides online resources and education to help
parents and adult guardians ensure their children’s safety.
Resources include an online tool that explains the hidden dangers of
pool drains, as well as tips for parents and kids. The tool explains how to
identify safe and unsafe pool covers and the steps pool and spa owners
should take to prevent drain entrapment - an accident occurring when a
drain or suction fitting entraps a swimmer or wader. Small children
especially may be unable to break free.
Abbey’s Hope invites involvement through donations and volunteer
opportunities. For more information, visit abbeyshope.org.
