Christopher King Foundation

ENJOY Labor Day to the fullest! But PLAN to have a safe, sober ride home. Schedule a rideshare, call a taxi, or have a sober friend get you home safely. Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over! 🚨🚔

If you feel different, you drive different! Drive sober or get pulled over! 🚔🚨

The choice is simple this Labor Day: a rideshare or taxi is MUCH cheaper than a DUI. Remember — Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over 🚨🚔.

As most of you know we have been gathering support to have the seat belt law changed to primary as Virginia has the lowest use rate in the country. I am so excited to announce I got to meet Governor Youngkin at the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Press conference and he said absolutely we need to change it to primary this year!!!!! We will save at least 50 lives, 700 serious injuries, and over $180 million dollars by doing this!!! Please tell your legislators to support this important life saving law. Thank you Kurt Erickson for the connection!

Fred met me at the crash site tonight to make videos about the importance of seat belts. Fred was with Chris in the car that night and survived because he wore his seat belt.

Spoke to 706 kids, teens, and adults at Clara Byrd Elementary! Entire families came out and grandparents! Got to speak to all about the importance of seat belts. The Pugkle up stickers were very popular along with candy of course!!

Tonight’s open house at James Blair Middle School. Spoke to over 500 kids, teens and adults about the importance of seat belts. Thank you so much Principal Littleton for letting me come again this year!

Open house at Jamestown High School. Got to speak to over 400 parents, teens and kids about Christopher and the importance of bucking up. Exhausting but important. So many parents and teens thanked me for sharing. Also spoke to friends of Chris that still talk about how much they loved him and miss him.

Buckle up in every seat every time. It would’ve saved Christopher’s life.

Buckle Up, James City County Local first responders show James City County residents a proven way to save lives: their seat belt.

Christopher loved the Fair. He will never be able to go again. The ONE time he didn’t buckle up took his life. Please buckle up for your loved ones.

Heading out to visit the State Fair of Virginia? We want you to arrive safely. Please make sure you and everyone in your vehicle are buckled up as you travel to and from the fair and ALWAYS. Make it home to the ones you love.

Never give up until they !

Last day of the Distracted Driving Summit. Making new connections and learning about the latest techniques to save lives.

Ready for the Distracted Driving Summit tomorrow!

Always whether you’re in the front seat or the back seat!

Last week of Safety Town at Waller Mill Elementary. Amazing program teaching our kids about safety in all areas!

Virginia! 🌴☀️

**Attention Teachers!**

We're excited to announce a new initiative in collaboration with Drive Smart Virginia, James City County, and Williamsburg Police Departments. This free program involves just two visits from our foundation and the police (if available). During the program, students will monitor speeds in front of schools, put up signs encouraging drivers to slow down and buckle up, and then we'll check a week later to see if there's any improvement!

If you're interested in bringing this safe driving awareness program to your classroom, please send me a message. We can visit elementary, middle, and high schools—both public and private.

Please share this with your networks!
