The Casey Feldman Foundation strives to make this world a better place in memory of Casey.

The stretch from Memorial Day to Labor Day is known as the "100 Deadliest Days" of summer on U.S. roads. Teen driver fatalities spike during this period, and distracted driving is a leading cause.

Casey loved summer. The shore. Long days with friends and family. She was on her way to her summer job in Ocean City, NJ, walking through a crosswalk on a sunny afternoon, when a distracted driver took her life.

She was 21.

This summer, let's honor Casey by making safer choices. Put the phone down. Keep your eyes on the road. Arrive alive.

Because everyone deserves to enjoy their summer and make it home.

Thousands have stopped driving distracted because of Casey.

That's not just a headline. That's the reality of what this community has built together.

Since 2009, EndDD.org, a project of the Casey Feldman Foundation, has reached more than 500,000 students and adults with science-based distracted driving presentations. Joel Feldman, Casey's father, has personally given more than 1,000 presentations across the country.

Every person who puts the phone down. Every teen who speaks up when a friend or parent drives distracted. Every family that arrives home safely. That is Casey's legacy at work.

We can't bring Casey back. But together, we are making the roads safer for everyone.

Seventeen years after Casey's death, her story continues to inspire action.

Casey's father and End Distracted Driving founder Joel Feldman continues to share her story and advocate for safer roads. Recently, he spoke with more than 100 firefighters at the invitation of the National Volunteer Firefighters' Council, encouraging them to help reduce distracted driving in their communities using EndDD's K–12 educational resources.

The response was overwhelmingly positive.

As Joel shared:
"I am more optimistic than at any time since Casey's death that young people can, and will, change the way all of us think about distracted driving and make our roads safer."

Every presentation. Every conversation. Every community reached is part of Casey's legacy.

"I want you to drive safely because people care about you."

That message wasn't written by a safety expert. It was written by a 5th grader.

Through our "Kids Speaking Up for Road Safety" program, supported by Honda more than 4,000 elementary school students learned about distracted driving this school year. Then they did something incredible: they wrote personal cards to older students with messages about safe driving.

Sometimes the most powerful safety messages come from the youngest voices. These kids remind us that road safety is everyone's responsibility.

Thank you, Honda, for helping us expand this program and reach more young people.

To those who knew Casey, she will always be remembered for her kindness, her joy, and the way she made people feel.

She was just 21 years old when her life was taken by a distracted driver. While her absence is felt every day, her legacy continues through the Casey Feldman Foundation and End Distracted Driving, helping others understand that one moment of distraction can change lives forever.

We honor Casey by encouraging every driver to make the simple choice to stay focused. It is one decision that can protect another family from experiencing this kind of loss.

Casey Feldman was just 21 when she was killed by a distracted driver who looked away. Her Seventeen years later, Joel Feldman still remembers the phone call no parent should ever receive.

"Casey was involved in a crash. I'm going to the hospital. Meet me there."

Those were the words his wife spoke after Casey was struck by a distracted driver while walking in a crosswalk.

A few hours later, Casey died from her injuries.

Seventeen years later, Casey's legacy continues through the Casey Feldman Foundation and End Distracted Driving, helping families, students, and communities understand that one moment of distraction can change lives forever.

Today, we remember Casey and recommit ourselves to making our roads safer.

Behind every life lost to distracted driving is a family whose world changed forever.

Casey Feldman was just 21 years old when she was killed by a distracted driver. Today, her legacy lives on through the Casey Feldman Foundation and End Distracted Driving, helping people understand that one moment of distraction can have lifelong consequences.

Every choice to stay focused behind the wheel is a choice to protect someone else's son, daughter, parent, or friend.

Drive like the people around you are your family because to someone, they are.

In a personal letter, Casey once wrote about how alive and inspired she felt in New York City, how its energy and movement made her want to do more and be more.
That sense of energy and purpose is something her family and friends remember vividly. She worked hard, cared deeply, and poured herself into the stories and causes that mattered to her.

When we feel tired or discouraged, we think of the way Casey approached life. It reminds us to keep moving, keep caring, and keep choosing to help others.

Our storybook helps young students learn how to stay aware of cars and traffic.

When children understand safety early, they grow into confident and attentive passengers and future drivers.

We continue this work because of Casey and her belief in helping others.

Casey made everyone feel confident and comfortable in their own skin. She believed in embracing who you are, and that’s something we can all take to heart.

Be your true self today—unapologetically. Lift others up in the process.

What’s one way you’ll embrace who you are today?

💛
