There are numerous ways to help B.R.A.K.E.S. educate teens on the importance of safe and responsible driving. Individuals, small groups, and corporations may help B.R.A.K.E.S. by volunteering their time, money, and/or resources. B.R.A.K.E.S. accepts both monetary and in-kind contributions.
With over 5,000 teens a year dying in automobile accidents, advocacy for safe and responsible driving, is a great way to get involved. B.R.A.K.E.S. works closely with the local and state police, government officials, and insurance agencies. By speaking about B.R.A.K.E.S. to law makers and insurance companies you can help in the fight to save teen lives.
"Thank you for forwarding Emma's letter to me. It looked like she wrote straight from her heart and that is what is most important !!!........her handwriting is another story :-O Very honestly, I was immensely impressed by the amount of thought and effort that everyone at BRAKES put into the course. When we first arrived, just seeing the untold number of cones set up along the course routes was an eye opener. At age 55, I would have approached each of the exercises with real trepidation. I can only imagine what was going through the students minds when they were asked to hop in the drivers seat and hit the pedal !! In the end, what said it all, though, were the smiles on the student's faces as they completed their respective sections of the course. If you gave them the option to keep driving for another three hours, I don't believe you would have had any of the students turn down your offer. Again, please thank everyone at BRAKES for a job well done and for bringing the program to Ocoee. "

"I want y'all to know that the $99 was some of the best money I've ever spent. I got home that afternoon and sent a note with a link to BRAKES to every parent I know with a teenage driver. My daughter gained a lot of skills that will stay with her. Thanks"
