On February 14th, 2020, two siblings were struck by a vehicle as they were leaving school in North Las Vegas, NV. These children did what they were taught; they followed the rules when crossing the street; using a cross walk. What caused such a tragedy? DISTRACTED DRIVING.

2 days later, one of the siblings - the son, brother, cousin and friend in our community - lost his life.

It is unfortunate that yet another family is left in agony as they mourn the loss of one child and pray for the recovery of another.

Being distracted at the wheel CAN be avoided.

In honor of the little angel, let us all make a pledge to “THE PUCK PROMISE” (in honor of this young man’s love for all things hockey).

Pledge to be more aware of your responsibilities when you are at the wheel.

THE PUCK PROMISE

By signing this contract, I promise:

Priority to the safety of myself & others. I WILL NOT TOUCH MY CELLPHONE WHILE BEHIND THE WHEEL

Undivided attention to signs, crossing guards & speed limits

Caution to traffic, crosswalks and pedestrians

Kids and school zones deserve my utmost attention

BEFORE YOU SIGN! Remember, this is a promise you make to YOURSELF; as you are often alone with your conscience in your car; "I vow to hold myself accountable to this pledge. I realize I may be able to deceive others, but never myself".
