KP High School Receives $1K Safe Teen Drive Grant

Kings Park  High School was a recent recipient of a $1000 Safe Teen Drive LI grant given by The Allstate Foundation.

The grant will be used to fund activism work that encourages responsible and smart driving by their students.

According to the Allstate Foundation, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among teenagers with crash rates at the highest for drivers who are 16-19 years old. 

The Allstate Foundation’s Safe Teen Drive LI program aims to reduce teen crashes in Nassau and Suffolk counties.

“We believe activism projects and events in every high school on Long Island will increase public awareness on this social epidemic,” said Allstate spokesperson Jaclyn Darrohn, “and perhaps act as the reminder or light-bulb for a young driver who may be about to make a bad decision behind the wheel.”
