Our Mission

Protecting Lives Through Action and Accountability

The Flynn Michael Foundation exists to protect teens, families, and communities by addressing the epidemic of reckless driving among young drivers through stronger laws, accountability, and education.

Our Purpose

The Foundation exists to protect teens, families, and communities by addressing the epidemic of reckless driving among young drivers. We transform tragedy into meaningful action that saves lives.

Why We Exist

Every day, families across America face the devastating reality of losing loved ones to preventable reckless driving incidents. These tragedies tear apart communities and destroy lives in an instant. The Flynn Michael Foundation was born from the need to address this crisis through systemic change, ensuring that no other family experiences the heartbreak that inspired our mission.

We Are Committed To:

Four pillars of action that drive our mission to create safer roads and stronger accountability

Demanding consequences for parents who knowingly allow dangerous driving, turning a blind eye to reckless behavior that puts lives at risk.
