<>Upon entering high school, I created a club called the Juvenile Diabetes Awareness Club (JDAC) to bring awareness of diabetes and to raise money for diabetes organizations. In three years, JDAC has raised over $35,000. This money is being used to send children to diabetes camp for 2 weeks of valuable education, not to mention fun! Many of these children may not have been able to monetarily afford this. I hope to share the success of this club with students around the country.

In May of 2005, my 14th Month old daughter Madison was killed in a back over accident by another parent at her daycare, the driver could not see my daughter in the blind zone of her large suburban. Since Madison's death I formed the MFC Foundation, "Montanans for Children Foundation" With the main goal to help in bettering the lives of Children by supporting legislation that aims to keep children safe and educate parents and new drivers on the dangers there children face in and around vehicles.

The Shattered Dreams Project consists of two different events, the Mock Car Crash and the Every 15 minutes project.
The Every 15 Minutes project is named after the statistic that says that in every 15 minutes, a teenager is killed or seriously injured in an alcohol related collision in the United States. The every 15 minutes project comes before the mock car crash. On (Monday) November 19 a police officer will read the scenario of the car crash that took place on the morning announcements.

The youth of DJ Center for Youth, Inc. would like to host a Car Show Extravaganza to better educate their peers on driving safely and inform them about new legislation. Effective July 1, 2007 the Indiana law will change and it will require ALL passengers in ALL vehicles in ALL positions to wear safety belts.

My sister and I have developed a myspace site call "Teens Against Careless Driving". We promote safe driving by sending messages and bulletins to teens. We have almost 16,000 teen friends acrossed the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Our site contains videos of unsafe driving practices that get the teens attention. We then send them safe driving tips and information on driving schools. We also do a few fun things like listing our Top Friends every week. On the serious side we have memorial areas where the teens can honor their lost friends and loved ones.

We have been working to educate our school on safe driving practices. With this grant we would host a dinner for teens and their parents that would be a night to remember. We would have a dinner free for all who attend (food gets people in the door in our town) and then we would have two guest speakers here to present the statistics and practices that apply to teen drivers.

Teens like to get information from their friends and other teens. They don't lecture like parents and teachers. But you have to be where teens are to reach them. My idea is to go to places like movie theaters, bowling alleys, beaches & pools, and fast food restaurants to get safe driving information in the hands of teens.
I'm working with my local movie theater to come in and set up an informational table in the lobby. The manager will allow me to come in on a Saturday night when most teenagers will be going to the movies.

My idea is to promote safe driving among teens through a series of rallies in different high schools, and have schools offer behind the wheel training and driver's education. The rallies will discuss, and show videos that deal with the things that take away people's attention away from driving. Also the rallies will have skits that show the different causes of accidents, such as cell phones, make-up, reading while driving, trying to pick up something while driving, and paying more attentions to friends in the car more than driving.

In order to save the lives of teens, they are to understand the basic life-saving for everyone in the community and most importantly, for themselves. If a teen cause a trouble, for example, drunk driving, the environment will look bad. The habits of drunk driving is a serious situation that can occur to anyone at any time. That is why it is important for teens not to drink while they are driving.
