Today, more than 100 million people use a cell phone while they are driving. Many States are now looking at legislation to prevent the use of cell phones by drivers behind the wheel.

The Challenge for Foster Care Teens
Nearly 20,000 Foster Care Teens "age-out" of the Foster Care system every year. Once they reach 18, their State and Foster families are no longer required to give them assistance. This is where the Driver Education Foundation will step in to provide driver training scholarships for these Teens to obtain their driver's license, opening the doors of opportunity, employment and independence. We invite you to join our mission in changing the life of a Foster Care Teen today. Donors and Sponsors - Click here to make a donation.
