GIVE
GIVING TUESDAY is not just another Tuesday, it’s a day when generosity takes center stage, and together, we can make a lasting impact.
​
2024 was a busy and productive year for the SafeLIGHT Foundation. We welcomed our third class of Teen Ambassadors. The Ambassadors work hard to develop safe driving campaigns and they earn college scholarships in the process. Thus far, 22 Teen Ambassadors have been awarded scholarships. Our Seniors Matter Rideshare Program is going strong in six suburban communities and has provided more than 3,000 rides to help our valued senior citizens maintain their mobility and independence. We also continued to support law enforcement at National Night Out events. These programs were funded through grants and through generous donations from our supporters, who believe in our mission of promoting safe driving.
​
In a world where kindness and compassion are needed more than ever, it’s crucial that we unite and lend our support to the causes that deeply resonate with us. Whether it’s empowering seniors to maintain their independence through driving, fostering positive relationships with law enforcement, or educating young drivers on responsible behavior behind the wheel, let’s embark on a journey with the SafeLIGHT Foundation.
​
Please join us in pursuit of safer roadways. Together, we can make a meaningful impact by promoting and encouraging safe driving practices.
