New Jersey high schools urged to register now for chance to win a $100,000 Celebrate My Drive® grant and concert by Grammy Award Winner Kelly Clarkson

The Milton School is ready to make a commitment…will you join them?

(Parsippany, NJ) September 2013 – The Milton School of Maplewood, NJ is making a commitment to help our teens drive safe by participating in the Celebrate My Drive Program powered by State Farm.  Along with the Milton School, all New Jersey high schools are urged to register online now for a chance to win a $100,000 Celebrate My Drive® grant from State Farm®. Schools also can win a hometown concert with Grammy Award winning artist, Kelly Clarkson.   

High schools across the state are invited to join Celebrate My Drive, an opportunity for students and communities to come together to celebrate new drivers and keep them safe on the road ahead of them. The first year behind the wheel is the most dangerous for teens, and it’s an issue State Farm knows is important to schools and communities.

Celebrate My Drive®

Celebrate My Drive® is a different approach to a leading public health risk.  Car crashes are the number one killer of teens, and a teen’s first year on the road is the most dangerous. Using research as a guide, State Farm® is approaching teen driver safety, a winnable public health battle, by engaging teens while they learn to drive in a supportive and positive way.  It’s a community celebration of safe driving habits emphasizing the benefits of safe choices as teens celebrate the freedom that comes with getting a drivers’ license.
