Be In The Zone

The Pediatric Trauma Injury Prevention Program at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital is addressing distracted driving among teenagers through a data-driven, research-based program funded by Ford Philanthropy and Community Services and The Allstate Foundation.

Both organizations have been generous supporters of the “Be in the Zone” Program since its start in 2011. Their gracious funding each year allows high school teens to become active advocates and agents of change against distracted driving.

Through a unique hospital and school based collaboration, the “Be In The Zone” Program aims to prevent injury and save lives by increasing knowledge about the dangers of distracted driving especially cell phone use and texting while driving.
