Mission:
Over 11,000 families each year are destroyed by impaired drivers. The aftermath of Kenton’s death has changed the Iwaniec family forever. In order to find meaning in his death, honor his life, and most importantly to do anything to prevent other families from going through what they’ve experienced, the Iwaniecs stress the importance of responsible choices as an effective and simple way to reduce DUIs. TakeOff is a race to honor DUI victims, raise awareness about the seriousness of impaired driving, and encourage the community to have a positive influence in the reduction of impaired driving. All profits will go to the purchase of breathalyzers (PBTs) for the Pennsylvania State Police and other law enforcement agencies throughout the Commonwealth. Since 2009, the Iwaniecs have purchased 168 PBTs. Click here to view photos of the PBT distribution. Thank you for your support; with your help we can shape the future.
