Educating Teens. Saving Lives.

Coming Soon · A LEADD Feature Film
"Blind Drive Ahead"
A full feature film about distracted driving and the lives it steals every year. Once funded, the movie will be distributed free of charge to every 8th–12th grade student in the United States — paid for by local business sponsors at just $6 per student.
We're raising $100,000 to finish production. Click the poster to learn how your business can put its name on screen for students in your community.
Take the Pledge
"I will not let a destructive decision define my life — or end someone else's."
Join thousands of students, parents, and officers who have committed to drive focused, live sober, support struggling friends, and look out for their community.
