The Make It A Quick Click Foundation was formed in July, 2006 after the tragic death of Ty Quick in the summer of 2005. Ty was driving home from a friend’s house to visit his mom and dad when he ran off the road and hit an embankment. Ty was not wearing a seat belt. Since then, Ty's aunt, Renee Laune and Kyle Quick, Ty’s brother, have dedicated their lives to preventing tragedies like Ty’s from happening, especially when they can be prevented. The Make It A Quick Click Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides educational programs with in the community regarding the importance of seat belt usage and making healthy driving decisions. The Foundation organizes and presents many educational programs; such as the “It’s Your Choice Program”, which discusses and promotes seat belt usage and safe driving habits and decisions. The Foundation also donates child safety seats to families who can not afford them. Future plans consist of establishing a scholarship program available to high school students who organize and implement a seat belt safety program into their respective high schools. Other plans include increasing the number of signs along roadways that remind drivers to buckle up and practice safe driving habits. The Foundation also hosts an annual golf tournament each July to raise funds and awareness within the community. For any questions and for further information regarding programs, goals, and/or events in accordance with the Foundation, please visit their website at www.makeitaquickclick.org. |
