The 2024 winners are from ten counties within the Charlotte metropolitan area. They will attend a variety of excellent institutions of higher learning. The students represent a wide variety of ethnic and cultural communities and have shared firsthand observations of the dangers of impaired and distracted driving or developed campaigns to inspire and encourage the elimination of these dangerous practices within their peer group. Peer to peer advocacy is the most effective method of messaging about the danger. Young adults are the best possible demographic to provide invaluable insights into unlocking preventative solutions.
“On behalf of the entire DeMayo Law team, we want to extend our sincere congratulations to the 2024 scholarship winners for their commitment to academic excellence, community involvement and volunteer participation. Coupled with their excellent submissions and messages to their peers of the importance of alternative choices by way of either providing sobering statistics, insight or awareness they are all part of our effort to help reduce or eliminate the problem of underage drinking and distracted driving. Together we can make a difference. Even one life saved is worth the effort,” stated Michael A. DeMayo, CEO and Founder of DeMayo Law.
