About Me

This page is dedicated to the memory of Casey Bokhoven who was killed by a drunk driver only 20 feet from his own front door on Sunday March 11, 2007. Help us stop drunk driving here in Winston Salem, NC. We are raising money to provide breath alyzers in as many bars and night clubs as possible in the downtown area. Informed drivers are safer drivers. Let a patron who is drinking know what their blood alcohol content is with our breahalzyers & maybe they'll think twice before trying to drive. We can't stop everyone but if we can make even a small impact & only 1 life is saved so some family somewhere else won't have to bury their brother or son or freind...then it will be so worth it. Please read the above blogs for more specifics on what our mission is and why we are here in the first place. Have a quesion? Email us here. Thank you for everyone's support. Let's make Winston Salem known for ZERO tolerance for drunk driving!
