She said, “We are thrilled to offer this event to our community, and we hope to spread awareness about the dangers of texting while driving. We want to encourage everyone to stay focused on the road and make safe decisions while behind the wheel.”
Overall, the “Driving Safety Fair Don’t Text & Drive 5K and Easter Fun” event promises to be a day of fun and education for the whole family. For more information, please visit the Peyton Irwin Foundation’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/PeytonIrwinFoundation/.
