RACE MISSION
The Always Wear Your Seatbelt Foundation invites you to join us in raising seatbelt safety awareness at our upcoming 2021 “Lace-Up to Buckle-Up” VIRTUAL5K Walk/Run. This is our annual fundraiser and 100% of the net proceeds will go towards our mission. Our mission is to save lives through raising awareness and educating teens to Always Wear Your Seatbelt, if not for yourself, for Laura & Eddie. Our foundation was founded in memory of Laura Grant and Eddie Culberhouse, who lost their lives in a tragic car accident on February 6, 2011.
