Back in the 1930’s our great-grandparents were tuning in on their Motorola. In the 1980s our parents popped in their favorite cassette tape. And today our backseat passengers are asking to ‘pass the aux’. Making their first debut back in the 1930’s the car radio has been distracting drivers of all ages from focusing on a safe and cautious driving environment.

These qualities of promoting safe driving with a combination of my academic record and extracurricular involvement are all the reasons why I believe I should receive the Toni Donato-Bolis & Baby RJ Foundation
