OUR MISSION
Our mission is to advocate for seatbelt safety and awareness of distracted driving in today’s society, especially among the local youth. Through our loss, we hope to save other lives by raising awareness through attending events at local schools and providing scholarships to select high school seniors each year.
In Memory of
Garner Tampary
On August 7, 2021, Garner was taking a friend home from a concert, but neither one ever made it home. They weren't wearing their seatbelts and were ejected from the vehicle. Our mission is to advocate for seatbelt safety and to remind people not to drive distracted. Had Garner and Sonny been wearing their seatbelts, their chances of survival would have been greatly increased.
Lessonz Pledge: Buckle you, buckle them; don’t lose another friend. Pay attention, it can wait, don’t let one text decide your fate.
90.4% OF DRIVERS IN THE US USED THEIR SEATBELT IN 2021.
47% PERCENT OF PASSENGER VEHICLE OCCUPANTS KILLED IN 2019 WHO WERE UNRESTRAINED.
55% OF THOSE KILLED DURING THE NIGHTTIME IN 2019 WERE UNRESTRAINED.
