Save the Bay

Water conservation and preservation is core to Bradford's DNA. We purposely don't manufacture products that are predominantly water because it adds to packaging waste, carbon footprint, preservatives, and water waste. Supporting Save the Bay is another way we support the 400 miles of coastline in Rhode Island and beautiful Narragansett Bay.

Save the Bay was established in 1970 with the mission to protect and improve Narragansett Bay. Their vision is a fully swimmable, fishable, healthy Narragansett Bay, accessible to all and globally recognized as a natural treasure. Bradford has been a member since 2018

The annual Save the Bay Swim is the most recognized Save The Bay event and fundraiser.  Over 500 swimmers and nearly 200 kayakers traverse 1.7 miles across Narragansett Bay to raise money and awareness for Save The Bay. Bradford learned that the swimmers and boaters had no convenient way to wash off after the arduous swim, so we built custom showers to rinse off after the race. Now they can enjoy the post-race party without being covered in salt and seaweed. We are happy to help - after all, bathing is our specialty! As part of the event, Bradford hands out free soap to the swimmers to enjoy at home. Great job to everyone who raises money and completes the challenging swim!!!
