A Decade on the Course. A Mission Moving Forward.
As The Kiefer Foundation enters its 11th year, we celebrate the 10th Annual Swing for Safe Driving “Ball Golf” Outing, presented by Cambridge Mobile Telematics —and the community that has helped turn heartbreak into lasting purpose.
What began as a family’s response to the loss of Mitchel Kiefer has grown into a national movement to end distracted driving. Since our first outing, our supporters have come together to honor his memory, strengthen that mission, and help make our roads safer.
Your generosity fuels progress across our three pillars: Awareness, Policy, and Technology. Together, we have championed hands-free laws, brought distracted driving education into schools and workplaces, and expanded the reach of our Just Drive Simulator program.
This milestone is a reason to celebrate—and a call to keep going.
As we look ahead, we remain focused on reaching more drivers, expanding access to life-saving technology, strengthening partnerships, and advancing policies that protect every family on the road.
Thank you for being part of this work. Whether you have joined us from the beginning or are stepping onto the course with us for the first time, you are helping carry Mitchel’s legacy forward—and bringing us closer to a future where no life is cut short by distracted driving.

The Kiefer Foundation's Mission
The Kiefer Foundation’s mission is simple but urgent: is to end distracted driving and all associated traffic deaths and injuries.
Born from personal tragedy, our work is driven by purpose and powered by a national community of survivors, partners, and advocates who refuse to accept preventable deaths as inevitable. Through awareness, policy, and technology, we empower people to make safe choices, support life-saving legislation, and bring proven tools into schools, workplaces, and communities.
Every action we take honors Mitchel and all the lives forever changed by distracted driving — and strengthens our commitment to a safer road ahead.
Distracted Driving By The Numbers
The statistics on distracted driving are alarming, but they’re also incomplete. Because distraction is so often under-reported, the full scope of the problem remains hidden.
The Kiefer Foundation works to close that gap by supporting modern data tools, including advanced telematics from Cambridge Mobile Telematics, our presenting sponsor. By investing in technology that captures real driving behavior, we can better define the risk, inform policy, and accelerate the work to end distracted driving.
