Last year, Matt Devoti, his law partner Matt Casey, and Jackie Gonz delivered the presentation to over 1,500 students at St. Mary’s High School, John F. Kennedy High School, St. John Vianney High School, and Ste. Genevieve High School.
“Distracted driving is a huge problem for people of all ages – not just teens. That is the message we want to get across to these young drivers,” said Matt Devoti. “We want them to be aware of the consequences whether it’s them, their parent or their friend who is driving distracted. The presentation offers eye-opening insight and concrete solutions to the problem that they can implement right away.”
EndDD.org (End Distracted Driving) was established to raise awareness and generate action against the epidemic of distracted driving. It was created by the parents of Casey Feldman, Joel Feldman and Dianne Anderson, after the death of their daughter, Casey Feldman in 2009. Casey Feldman was just 21 years old when she was hit and killed by a distracted driver. Learn more about EndDD.org and preview the presentation at www.EndDD.org.
Since April 2012, more than 400 professionals have given presentations to more than 225,000 teens and adults. Matt Casey, Matt Devoti and Jackie Gonz are thrilled to be part of the network of speakers who volunteer their time to give presentations in the St. Louis area.
