As we dive into the summer, we want to say a massive thank you for standing by us. Because of you, the first half of 2026 has been incredibly impactful.
Here is a quick look at what we accomplished together from January through June:
-
39 Events Hosted across multiple communities.
-
209 Law Enforcement Officers trained to recognize and prevent impaired driving.
-
270 Students & 163 Offenders educated directly on road safety and victim perspectives.
-
3,800+ Community Members engaged both in-person and virtually.
We are keeping this momentum going through the "100 Deadliest Days" of summer, a critical time for teen and young adult traffic safety highlighted in our newsletter. Please honor Ally’s legacy by always choosing a sober ride and getting home safe.

On September 11th, those who knew Ally personally reflect on who she was, what she did, and what she stood for. She touched everyone she met. This includes the men and women who tried so valiantly to save her life. Drinking and driving not only affects the people who know the victim personally, but also the first responders. While it is their job and duty to protect and serve, they are human and must deal with the human side of tragic events too. This is Highway Patrolman Polyard who was one of the first responders on Ally's scene. This is proof that Ally touched everyone she met and how senseless drinking and driving truly is.
