What is !MPACT?
On Tuesday, April 28, 2009 – Cheney Technical High School welcomed back the Mourning Parents Act Inc., also known as !MPACT.
Who are the members of !MPACT?
!MPACT was founded by the families of Dan, Ryan, and Joey... three teens who were killed in separate car crashes within an eleven-day period and a 25 mile radius of one another in December of 2002.
Members of !MPACT have either lost young family members or friends in automobile accidents. They volunteer their personal time and resources to advance the mission of the organization.
What does !MPACT do?
!MPACT has developed a teen driver safety program in which members share their experiences in a powerfully emotional presentation that not only has an immediate effect on students, but makes a lasting impression on them. Feedback from attendees indicates that this program effectively reduces risky driving/riding behavior in teens.
!MPACT has also developed a program for parents, educators and law enforcement officials; and is working with legislators to advance legislation that will protect teen drivers, their passengers and the people who share the roads
