Mission Statement
Our nonprofit is dedicated to changing lives of the youth in our communities through charitable programs and educating them in the consequences of poor choices.
About This Cause
The foundation provides provides teddy bears to public safety agencies who in turn give them to children involved in a traumatic experience (accidents, violent crimes, death etc.). The “Trauma Bears” are given to children in hopes of softening the impact and changing their focus to a comforting object during a difficult situation. In addition, the foundation educates and challenges youth to think about drinking, driving, personal safety, the responsibility of making mature decisions and the impact their decisions have on family, friends or others. This includes a two day program called the “Every 15 Minutes”, which is directed towards high school students. This program consists of a mock driving under the influence (DUI) crash involving participating students, fire department, paramedics, police officers and coroner personnel.
