Conor Lynch Foundation
ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
The Conor Lynch Foundation, a nonprofit 501(C)(3) corporation, has been established to support new and existing programs that raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and promote the safety of runners, pedestrians, cyclists and young drivers. Distracted driving includes texting, eating, using your phone, changing your radio station or interacting with passengers while driving; anything that takes your eyes off the road, challenges your cognitive abilities and slows reaction times, is a distraction and a danger. Your donations help support diversified road safety programs and events such as safety fairs and the Annual 5K Run/Walk In Honor of Conor. All donations are used to ensure that no family suffers a loss like this again and as a community get closer to Super Safe Streets for everyone.
