Hunter's Fund supported Safe Driving Weeks on 34 campuses in 2023 resulting in 15,192 students signing pledges not to drive distracted. To help make our roads safer, Hunter's fund offers a turn key campaign kit to colleges. Over 1,500 student volunteers staffed tables in 2023 to encourage their classmates to sign a pledge not to drive distracted, bringing the total number of campaigns funded to date to 176 and more than 88,000 students signing pledges not to drive distracted. First launched in 2017, Hunter's Fund realized that student volunteers had limited time to staff tables required for their classmates to sign pledges and developed a campaign kit that can be taken directly to a table in areas where students gather, be open and set up up quickly so then can focus their limited time on getting pledges. Campaign Kits contain educational posters, table banners, scheduling rosters, pledge cards, wristbands for students signing pledges to remind them of their commitment, bumper stickers to spread awareness, and "I pledged" stickers to demonstrate commitment. Hunter Watson died as a passenger in a distracted driving accident just as he was to enter his junior year in college. Distracted driving accidents are preventable and changing behavior is one of the most promising ways of reducing accidents caused by distracted driving. Studies based upon seat belt usage and disposable waste have shown that signing a written pledge can effectively change behavior. Research also shows that per-mile-driven, 16-19 year-olds die in fatal car crashes at nearly three times the rate of drivers 20 years and older, and 70% of teens report using social media. Government statistics show that last year there were more traffic accidents than in each of the past 15 years. The loss of someone in a driving accident at such a young age can change the lives of their friends and families for a lifetime. 61452 EducationWith the organization's safe driving programs on dozens of campuses, print newsletters, website, blog, social media and email communications, and educational materials that reach young people, parents and those in the educational community seek to build awareness of the potential of new ideas and how recognizing and supporting these young people can help them become potential for change in our own future. Continued education of the importance of safe driving and reminders of the commitment those signing pledges encourage continued safe driving. Wristbands and key chain reminders were given to pledge signers who have shown to be a reminder to those wearing them each time they get behind the wheel of a car or as a passenger in a vehicle. 205494 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 10 0 1 3 1 0 1 VC 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 AL MD NY VA CA CO DC FL GA IL KS MI MN NJ OH OR PA RI WI UT X X X The Organization 7034480346 PO Box 326 McLean VA 22101 X Jordan Parent President 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Matt Kimm Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mattieu Menand Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Madeleine Bunbury Vice President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Sam Brown Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Liam Catto Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Will Snape Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Reif Treasurer/Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Connor Sweeney Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nirmal Kagolanu Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jack Johnson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Emma Rothman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 200456 200456 1163 1163 87309 162623 -75314 -75314 -75314 126305 0 0 -74151 37804 37804 14914 14914 57623 33937 23686 1387 867 520 12385 12385 11182 12 11170 10972 7655 1544 1773 7460 704 6718 38 5405 2765 2472 168 3084 1627 1457 Printing and postage 52493 46167 4031 2295 Graphic design and copy 35048 33037 2011 Supplies 29701 26005 3696 Bank and credit fees 6123 6123 1113 626 487 286694 205494 74428 6772 138453 35418 626 248825 404337 387904 439755 22676 5253 22676 5253 X 365228 434502 365228 434502 387904 439755 -160389 229663 0 X X 1 X 0 0 0 X 382853 154869 493015 222979 200456 1454172 382853 154869 493015 222979 200456 1454172 497919 956253 791 1500 1131 640 1163 5225 1459397 0.65520 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 X Part X, Line 2: Hunter's Fund is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
