What: The free
national teen defensive driving program B.R.A.K.E.S. (Be Responsible and Keep Everyone Safe) will head to
Charleston this weekend, visiting the North Charleston Coliseum &
Performing Arts Center on Saturday and Sunday, June 27 - 28.
The 501(c)(3) charity was founded by multi-time Top Fuel drag
racing champion Doug Herbert in honor of his two sons, Jon and James, who lost
their lives in a tragic car crash in 2008. Herbert turned that personal tragedy
into a lifesaving mission that has trained more than 45,000 teens across the
country.
The
weekend’s sessions are being sponsored by local Charleston-area Allstate agents
in tribute to the memory of Tripp Rabon, son of fellow agent Sandra Rabon, who
lost his life in a car crash in 2015.
“Like
Doug, I’ve experienced first-hand the tragedy of losing a child in a car
crash,” said Ms. Rabon. “Given the
overwhelming number of teen deaths resulting from car crashes, it was
imperative that we bring the B.R.A.K.E.S. program to Charleston. Doug and his team are having a profound
impact on road safety, which perfectly aligns with our mission at Allstate.”
