2025 Giving Tuesday

GIVING TUESDAY is a global day of generosity — a time when people everywhere come together to help others and strengthen their communities.

With your help, the SafeLIGHT Foundation has been leading the way in promoting safer roadways for all. Our mission extends from empowering seniors to maintain their independence, to fostering positive relationships with law enforcement, and educating young drivers about responsible behavior behind the wheel.

Over the past four years, the SafeLIGHT Foundation has:

Provided $48,250 toward rides to Chicago-area seniors, helping them safely reach medical appointments, pharmacies, grocery stores, and other essential destinations.
Participated in National Night Out events sponsored by community policing organizations.
Partnered with 21 schools for the Teen Ambassador program, reaching thousands of students, and provided nearly $100,000 in scholarships to 41 students who championed safe driving among their peers.

Every year, traffic accidents claim more than 35,000 American lives — tragedies that are often preventable. Roadway safety is a shared responsibility, and with your support, we can continue making a difference.

All funds raised on GIVING TUESDAY will go directly to programs developed and supported by our foundation.

Please join us in pursuit of safer roadways. Together, we can make a meaningful impact by promoting and encouraging safe driving practices.

Will you take the time to support responsible driving with a 100% tax-deductible donation?

Please mark your calendar for December 2 to make a contribution that can help save a life.

OUR VALUES

INSPIRE – We motivate our communities to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries by sharing inspirational stories of survivors, the families of red light running accident victims and/or heroes of red light running accidents.

GIVE – We stand with law enforcement and other organizations by volunteering and providing donations that meet our foundation’s qualifications. Our desire is to lend our support during times that can be devastating to persons or families.

HELP – We educate the communities we serve on the do’s and don’ts of safe driving through traffic safety awareness programs.

TRUST – We help build and maintain a bond between the community and law enforcement by providing opportunities for them to come together to discuss issues surrounding traffic safety.
