In Kevin’s memory my oldest son, Derek Yates, and I founded this non-profit organization within days of the crash. We are 1N3, and as a family wanted to do more than change laws pertaining to driving under the influence. We wanted to change the lives of the people who were impacted by it.Our mission is raise Drug and Alcohol Awareness and to educate communities of the consequences due to making the choice of driving while intoxicated. Every day almost 30 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. This amounts to one death every 50 minutes. With Awareness we hope to change this.
