Double Your Impact – Help Save Teen Lives!

Every Dollar Matched!

Mackenzie Jo was a 17-year-old high school senior who lost her life in an automobile crash in 2019. She was on her way home from her part-time job at a nursing home where she worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant when she lost control of her vehicle in a snowstorm. Her car went airborne, flew over a concrete barrier and landed just off the roadway below. She was killed instantly.

This tragic loss inspired her mother to do everything that she can to reach teens on a personal level. She wants to help them understand the importance of safe driving and the impact that it has on everyone around them. It is also her hope to prevent other families from experiencing the trauma and grief of losing a teen due to a car crash.

Teen car crashes are the #1 cause of preventable deaths — that needs to change. At Safe Driving Matters, our mission is to reduce teen-related auto crashes and save lives through education, hands-on training, and innovative programs that encourage safe and responsible driving habits.

We now have the chance to purchase a one-of-a-kind distracted driving simulator—a cutting-edge tool not yet available to the public. This simulator offers teens a powerful, hands-on experience that helps teens understand just how dangerous distracted driving can be. It’s not just informative—it’s transformative. We plan to take these simulators to local high schools and impact 10,000 students by the end of the year!

Now, thanks to Modern Woodmen of America, your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar, and they’ll cover all fees — so 100% of your gift helps us reach more teens!
