Fort Bend ISD High Schools Receive Over $7,000 For Winning Safe Driving Competition

SAFE 2 SAVE and State Farm announced the winning high schools of the Fort Bend ISD competition, which promoted undistracted safe driving. State Farm awarded over $7,000 to the participating high schools which competed to earn the most points for not touching their phones while driving. SAFE 2 SAVE is a free mobile app that rewards users points for undistracted driving that can be redeemed at local businesses for free items and discounts. Schools and organizations can compete to see who can earn the most points by driving the safest.

The Fort Bend ISD competition ran from April 1-30 and had six high schools participate. “SAFE 2 SAVE has really helped me to not text while driving,” said Steven Shiels, FBISD Director of Counseling and Postsecondary Readiness. “I’m racking up the points and there are great places to redeem for free food and other stuff!”

State Farm sponsored the competition generously awarding $7,400 to the winning schools. “State Farm’s number one focus is customer safety and we thought April was a great time for the competition,” said Gina Wilken, State Farm Public Affairs Specialist. “Teaming up with SAFE 2 SAVE is one more way we can get the message out about the dangers of distracted driving and try to start to turn the corner on this trend.”
