On Saturday, April 17, 2010, people from all over south Orange County will participate in the 3rd JourneySafe Walk-a-thon in order to promote teen driver and passenger safety awareness.
Every year 6,000 teens die in car crashes. Last April one of those teens was Zach Raffety, a remarkable young man who lost his life in a senseless single vehicle automobile crash. He was the only passenger in a car driven by another teen who, was driving too fast, lost control and crashed. No drugs or alcohol was involved—just inexperience combined with excessive speed.
Since then, Zach’s parents joined forces with JourneySafe™ an outreach program dedicated to educating and encouraging teens to become better drivers and passengers. We work with law enforcement groups, schools, youth and community service groups interacting directly with teens. To date nearly 20,000 teens and their parents have heard the JourneySafe presentation thanks to the support and generosity of walkers like you who have raised money on our behalf.
Funds raised at our 3rd Walk-A-Thon allow JourneySafe to continue to be introduced into local high schools, teen volunteer organizations and youth groups. JourneySafe has been featured in print media and television including CNN, Fox 11, CBS and KCAL 9. As a result we have received requests from all over California and the United States for our educational materials. Our website has received millions of hits and our JourneySafe presentation has been seen around the world!
Join us on Saturday, April 17, 2010 for the 3rd JourneySafe Walk-a-Thon, in memory of Zach, to support JourneySafe. We will walk during two hours on a Saturday morning to raise money for teen driving safety programs.
