World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims
This day focuses on both the overall scale and the individual devastation caused by road deaths and injuries and the impact upon families and communities around the world. Almost 4,000 people are killed and many hundreds of thousands injured on roads throughout the world every day. Many more have to cope with bereavement or the effects of injury and thus become part of the huge group of people affected by road carnage. https://youtu.be/nnFEBqXsrok
Bruton High School Visit
We had a fantastic time at Bruton High School in York Co. today! The students were awesome and we loved being able to partner with Virginia State Police and York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office! These agencies, the Driver's Ed teachers, Coach Jones and Morrison, and SRO Damon do an incredible job teaching teens the importance of safe driving, but making it fun along the way! It was a honor to speak about seat belt safety and to share Christopher's story. #BuckleUp #DriveSafe York County School Division

4th Annual Car Show
Thank You for Attending our 4th Annual Cars For Chris Car Show!
Check out the photos from our most recent Car Show below!
Scott and I would like to express our deepest gratitude for your continued support! Your generosity and commitment to our cause have been instrumental in furthering our mission to promote safe driving habits among youth.
Since last year's Cars for Chris car show, we have made significant strides in our efforts to raise awareness and educate communities about the importance of safe driving. Through partnerships with organizations such as Drive Safe Hampton Roads, YOVASO, Drive Smart Virginia, DMV, the Conner Gweedo Memorial Foundation, and VDDC (Victims of Distracted Driving), we have gained valuable resources and expanded our reach to even more individuals.
One of our proudest achievements has been the development of our own outreach programs, which now extend to high schools, middle schools, elementary schools, and even preschools. We firmly believe that by starting young and consistently reinforcing the message of buckling up and the dangers of distracted driving, we can effect positive change and save lives.
In addition to our local efforts, we are also actively advocating for road safety policies and accountability on a broader scale. We will be joining other Victims of Distracted Driving in Washington, D.C., on Capitol Hill to emphasize the importance of prioritizing road safety and saving lives through legislative action.
Furthermore, our participation in various training conferences has enabled us to share Christopher's story, learn about the latest traffic statistics, and network with like-minded agencies. These experiences have been invaluable in enhancing our knowledge and expanding our impact in the field of road safety.
Once again, thank you for your unwavering support and belief in our cause. Together, we are making a difference and creating a safer future for all drivers. We look forward to continuing our journey together and achieving even greater milestones in the fight against distracted driving.
Please let us know if we can count on your help again this year! We can’t do it without you all!
