| Project Description: |
| The Alexandria Nicole Rubiella Foundation offers seminars and demonstrations to public and private high school students to reduce or eliminate deaths among teenage drivers due to carelessness or inattention. The demonstrations depict the tragic results of distracted driving. The program emphasizes the importance of choices and consequences to teens, in addition to a high-intensity, realistic reenactment of a traffic fatality due to poor decision-making. This dramatization includes testimonials from victims, parents, law enforcement, the District Attorney, and a realistic demonstration of emergency medical dispatch services. |
