This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Latina Mom Bloggers and State Farm. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

I shared with you recently the Celebrate My Drive campaign from State Farm and Teen driving safety.  The campaign is giving high school in the Untied States the chance to win a $100,000 grant check as well as a concert featuring Grammy Award winner Kelly Clarkson. I know, that sounds awesome doesn’t it? Well there will be 100 grants awarded and two concerts which makes it even better.

Auto crashes are the leading killer of teens and the first year of driving is the most dangerous. I can speak form experience and say I had a cousin that was killed in a car crash in his teens. It was a devastating experience and a death that still affects my aunt to this day (it was more than 20 years ago) as he was her baby. I also can remember having friends killed when I was in high school. Those events stay with you both as a teen and as an adult.

That is why during the week of October 18-26 I encourage you to make a safe driving commitment on behalf of your high school. The more commitments that get made the higher your school’s chances of winning not only a grant but a concert with Kelly Clarkson will be. So get out here and start making those commitments. Also there will be student-focused events hosted by State Farm agents.

Make Your Commitment

How do your make your commitment? First visit here to see if your school is registered. If it is not then register your school (it is simple to do) by having an administrator for your school register. If they have not already registered you can send them an email reminder to register for the Celebrate My Drive campaign. Also you can visit Celebrate My Drive on Facebook . for more information on Teen Driving then check out the State Farm site.

  3. No, my school is not registered. I will have contact them and request it to be registered.

  4. I first checked one local school, which is registered. Then I checked the other local school, which is not. It’s 9pm so I did not contact anyone at the unregistered school. I’ll have to check into it tomorrow.

    Our community lost some amazing kids in car accidents and one of them touched our family very personally. Your life is never the same again. It’s because of this that I feel a very strong affinity with programs such as this.

  6. This is the second of these contests with this same program so I know it’s not registered yet. I need to know someone else to contact since I’m not getting answers as to why not. Thank you anyway for those that are registered and will benefit from this!!

  7. Yes, my local high school where I attended is registered. This sounds like a great campaign. Thanks for the giveaway.

  8. YES! my daughter’s school is registered! Frank H. Peterson Academies!! I’m really surprised it is listed, yay!

  11. I checked to see if my school was registered. I’d love to win this prize. Thank you for the giveaway.

  12. Our local high school is not registered. I will have to contact the principal there and get the info to be submitted or have him do it. I am a parent of a graduate of this high school (as well as I graduated from there). This is a really nice giveaway and I would give it to my son. He’s a senior in college and could always use gas money. His school is a couple hours away and he comes home every couple weeks.

  13. My school was not registered. I did not call the administrator to request it. Knowing what I know of my school, I don’t know if it would happen, since there is a lot of red tape.

  14. The high school my daughter went to is not registered. Maybe by the time my son is there they will be registered or have a completely different program considering he is only 3.

  15. My kids school is NOT listed and I did not contact anyone, it is homecoming week and I’m sure no one would follow through with this!

  20. Our local school is not registered. I will send a request. 🙂

  21. I checked, and yes, my local high school in my town is registered. The high school is in TN. I am glad they are in the program also! Thank you for this giveaway opportunity!I like this blog by the way!!:)

  26. Yes the high school that two of my boys attended is listed. The one my other son attended is not.

  27. Our school is not listed! I will check with the school and inform them about Celebrate My Drive!

  28. My sons school is not registered. I will request that they register.I think the kids would all benefit.

  30. My stepson’s school is not listed. I have contacted the school principal to get the school on this list. My daughter’s school however, is listed. Glad her school is a part of this program.

  31. I checked the website to see if our local school is registered. I’m so glad to report back that our local high school is already registered! That’s great!

  32. My daughter’s school is not listed. Bummer. It’s a great program they should be listed.

  33. My School Is Not Registered, Others Schools In My Area Are, I Sent A Request, I Will Talk To The PTA And School Administrators About the Celebrate My Drive Campaign! Teen Driving Safety Is An Important Issue!

  34. My daughter’s school isn’t on the list. Which is to bad. I think this is a great program. I wish her school was listed.

  36. My grandson’s school is not listed. I am going to let my son know what he can do to help get it registered in this program.

  37. I checked and our small school was not included. I signed up our school and gave our principals email. Ooops…hope he[s not mad. But hey, it’s a great program and a chance at a grant like this would be HUGE for us! thanks!

  38. This is just a test comment and doesn’t count as anything! Another reader said they couldn’t comment and I wanted to check it out to be sure.

  41. Oh yes, our high school is listed! I think this is such a great program! I am glad they are participating!

  42. I homeschool, however our local school is registered. Hopefully the school that gets this money uses it for the students.

  44. i checked and charles jordan high school is now listed. I am registered to receive alerts, thank you!

  46. Unfortunately the school is not registered, but I will let them know an administrator needs to get them registered.

  48. My nieces school was not listed! I will be calling her mom this week. I think she would want to get in touch with the school administration about this program!

  49. The school in my community is not listed. Unfortunately, it is a troubled school that is working hard to regain some success. As with virtually all troubled schools, the biggest issue is the socio-economic status of the struggling families in the community.

  51. My school is listed!

    Entered the rafflecopter as “Wild orchid”

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  52. My school is not included. But that is likely because they are an elementary school. But the local High School is listed.

  54. Our local high school is not registered unfortunately. I will give them a call on Monday. I sure hope they will register for this as they had a student killed in a crash caused by texting this year.

  55. I have checked and our school is not registered I sent in a note to the guidance counselor

  56. Neither of the local schools for me seems to be registered. I didn’t contact them myself because I do not have a child in either school, but I will ask a friend who does to contact them about the program.

  57. I visited the site and noticed the school in the town I just moved to is not registered. I know somebody that works at the school so I will be certain to mention it to them!

  58. Our local high school is in fact registered. Our community is very safety oriented so I pretty much knew they would be on the website. Kid safety is the uttmost of importance

  59. I checked and our local school Pisgah High in Canton NC is listed. This sounds like a good campaign. It’s always a good idea to remind teens about driving safely. So important to remind everyone not to text and drive.

  60. My school was not listed. I tied to contact the school but received a voice mail box to leave a message at for the person I needed to speak to. I hope they return my call and get added!

  61. My school is not listed. I sent an email telling them about it and asking them to participate

  62. I think that this is great that they are doing this! I checked and sure enough, my son’s school is already in there!

  63. I did check, and our school is listed. Our school actually made it on AOL’s front page – albeit for a weird reason. It was because Eminem’s daughter won homecoming queen.

    So we’re good on both fronts.

  65. Unfortunately, my school is not registered. That is such a shame as there are many teen drivers there who have cars. 🙁

  66. My former HS isn’t listed. I don’t have a child in school now, but hopefully someone currently affiliated with the school will register for this great program!

  67. My kids’ high school is registered. I think it’s a great campaign for a school to be involved in. Thanks.
