Driving to Success
Caswell Cares is a 501 © 3 non profit organization with the purpose of transforming the lives of individuals by increasing the awareness of Driver Education and Safety.
Support of this organization will come by means of donations from corporations and individuals, as well as grants, gifts, and volunteer efforts.
Our Mission
Caswell Cares will help transform the lives of many individuals by awarding scholarships in the areas of simulator training and driver education.
Our goal is to make it more affordable for individuals to complete a driver education program through scholarships by partnering with schools, churches, and other organizations.
Vision
-
To award at least 50 scholarships for partial payment toward driver education. Our goal is to educate them early on safe driving principles so they are aware that Driving is a Privilege.
-
To work with the government and other non-profit organizations to reduce statistics in the areas of DUI’s, Aggressive Driving, Road Rage, Distracted Driving, Pedestrian Fatality, Drowsy Driving, and motor vehicle collisions.
-
To offer a life transforming experience to individuals who could benefit greatly from this experience (ex employment, career advancement, low income individuals)
Safety Driving Tip
Always leave 2 - 4 seconds in between your car and the car in front of you. This allows a cushion for you. If there is a crash and you have that cushion...it will stop with you.
Find a stationary object (such as a tree). When the car in front of you passes that object, you start counting. It should be 2-4 seconds before you pass that same object.

Be the change we want to see. I have learned change starts with me.
