Kailee Mills Foundation

A big thank you to the National Charity League, Inc., Cypress Creek Chapter for helping us carry Kailee’s message into more schools! 💚

This wonderful group of volunteers has been hard at work assembling packets that help our team share important seat belt safety education with students in our community.

Every packet prepared helps us reach another classroom, start another conversation, and remind more young people why buckling up matters. We are so grateful for the time and care these volunteers continue to give to our mission.

Together, we’re helping build safer habits, one student at a time.

Every passenger matters. Every seat matters. 💚

Whether you’re driving or riding along, make seat belt safety part of every trip. Buckle up before the vehicle moves, and make sure everyone in the car is buckled, too.

Looking out for one another can start with a simple reminder: Are you buckled?

Buckle up. Every seat. Every ride.

A big THANK YOU to Cypress Creek NCL!

We’re incredibly grateful to the Cypress Creek NCL group for supporting the Kailee Mills Foundation in so many ways. From giving their time through volunteer hours to thinking of KMF during their end-of-year fundraising efforts, their generosity and commitment to our mission means so much.

Thank you for choosing to give your time, your energy, and your support to help us share Kailee’s story and promote seat belt safety in our community. We’re so grateful to have you in the KMF family!

Buckle up. Every seat. Every ride. 💚

🏈 Friday Night Lights are about more than what happens on the field. 💚

Our dedicated board member, Dustin Creager, recently joined students in the Klein Collins High School athletics program to talk about an important part of being a teammate, a leader, and a member of the community: making safe choices behind the wheel.

The message reached athletes, cheerleaders, and football players, reminding students that looking out for one another extends far beyond game day.

Because every ride matters. Every passenger matters. And making the choice to buckle up is one way we can protect the people counting on us.

Buckle up. Every seat. Every ride.

This week, the Kailee Mills Foundation is proud to sponsor Keep Kids Alive Drive 25®’s 19th Annual Live Forward! Run to Remember in Colorado Springs, September 17–20.

The event brings families from across the country together to honor loved ones lost in traffic-related incidents. During the weekend, runners carry the names of those loved ones as they take on Pikes Peak, creating a powerful opportunity for remembrance, connection, and support.

Kailee’s story is part of this community of loved ones remembered. We are honored to see her name and her story carried forward alongside so many others, reminding us why the work to create safer roads matters.

We are grateful to Keep Kids Alive Drive 25® for including Kailee’s photo as part of this meaningful event. Having her memory represented among those being honored is a beautiful reminder that her story continues to reach people and inspire safer choices. 💚

Buckle up. Every seat. Every ride.

🚦 Safer roads start with education. 💚

Teachers play an important role in shaping the next generation of drivers. Through MTSI traffic safety training, educators gain valuable tools and resources to bring important conversations about safe driving and seat belt use into the classroom.

When we equip teachers with the knowledge to teach safe choices, we help students carry those lessons beyond the classroom and onto the road.

Buckle up. Every seat. Every ride.

KMF ribbon spotted at our nation’s Capitol! 💚

Kailee’s story began with one family’s loss, but her message has traveled far beyond one community.

Every KMF ribbon we see is a reminder that Kailee’s story continues to reach people across the country, encouraging safer choices and reminding drivers and passengers that every seat matters.

So, where have you spotted a KMF ribbon?

📸 Share your photos with us and show us where Kailee’s message is making an impact. We’d love to see just how far her message has traveled!

Buckle up. Every seat. Every ride.

Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001.

We honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the first responders and everyday heroes who stepped forward, the families forever changed, and the communities that came together in the days that followed.

Twenty-five years later, we remember not only the lives we lost, but the courage, compassion, and service that followed. May we continue to honor their memory by caring for one another and choosing to make a difference in our communities. 💚

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

We have a winner! 🏆

We received so many incredible submissions for our Buckle Up Squad Volunteer T-Shirt Design Contest, but Michelle Kroemer’s thoughtful design truly stood out!

Michelle’s design honors artwork from years past with a fresh vision—featuring the Texas outline and placing the Buckle Up Squad ribbon near where Kailee lived, connecting the design directly to the heart of our mission.

Congratulations, Michelle Kroemer, and thank you to everyone who shared their creativity with us! 💚 We can’t wait to see our volunteers wearing this design!

We’re sending some belated birthday wishes to Jerome Walker, our Development Manager!

We’re so grateful to have Jerome as part of the Kailee Mills Foundation team and appreciate the heart and dedication he brings to our community and mission.

We hope this next year brings plenty of new adventures!

Happy belated birthday, Jerome! 🎉💚 We’re glad you’re part of the KMF family!
