SADD is excited to receive a $22,500 grant from State Farm Insurance. The funds will support virtual traffic safety programming for students across Tennessee. In conjunction with SADD’s 40th Birthday, we will be hosting mini birthday parties across Tennessee.
- (1888PressRelease) February 05, 2021 - Tennessee - “To have the opportunity to continue to partner with State Farm to educate students across Tennessee about traffic safety is vital to reducing crashes and death on the roadways,” Gavin Gill, Regional Tennessee Manager, states. “This grant provides the opportunity for those vital conversations to occur with students. Educating and empowering students to make safe decisions behind the wheel is the goal. When achieved, the staggering rate of crashes and deaths on Tennessee roadways reduce.”
“Every day at State Farm we see the dreadful toll teen crashes can take on families,” said Judy McConkey, Corporate Responsibility Analyst. “We are strongly committed to doing everything we can to reduce these tragedies and help save lives. That is why we team up with organizations in Tennessee such as SADD who are also committed to preventing motor vehicle crashes.”
