More than 3,200 high schools engaged in program addressing leading cause of teen deaths: auto crashes.

Bloomington, IL -- Dec. 15, 2014: Celebrate My Drive, powered by State Farm,® is proud to announce winners of the campaign designed to raise awareness and promote teen driver safety. One hundred high schools will share in a total of $3.28 million in grants connected to their participation in the program. Over 3,200 high schools across North America participated, generating more than 6.1 million online safe driving commitments. Winning high schools generated the most commitments, while amplifying conversations around teen driver safety and addressing the leading cause of death for teens.

Leading up to and during the activation of Celebrate My Drive, students, high schools and entire communities developed creative campaigns to promote safe driving and generate excitement. Over 4,500 State Farm agents partnered with schools, supporting their efforts. As a result, positive conversations about ways we can all be safer behind the wheel increased, including driving 2N2®; 2 eyes on the road, 2 hands on the wheel.
