Ben Lovitt Educational Fund

This educational fund is in honor of Officer Ben Lovett who was killed by an impaired driver in 2021. This Fund allows Mothers Against Drunk Driving to provide educational programming across CT focusing on the temptations of teens to make poor decisions regarding substance abuse and driving. Such programs may also include speakers who are victims of drunk driving collisions. 

Why This Matters

Impaired driving continues to be one of the leading causes of preventable injuries and deaths among young adults. Despite increased awareness, too many families still experience the life-altering consequences of one decision made behind the wheel.

The Luke Roux Foundation created these scholarships to honor Luke.
