Kailee Mills Foundation strives to save and impact lives around the globe in memory of Kailee Mills. https://linktr.ee/kaileemillsfoundation

At only 16, on October 28, 2017, Kailee Mills' life was cut short in mere seconds. She was killed in a horrific one-car accident just a few blocks from home. The driver lost control of the vehicle as they entered a curve, hit a culvert, and rolled several times. There were four 16-year-olds in the car, and Kailee was the only one not wearing her seat belt. Everyone else in the car walked away with minor cuts and bruises, except Kailee, who was ejected from the rear window and died instantly. Countless lives were shattered in the blink of an eye. Even in the darkest hour, Kailee's parents made the decision to spread awareness about seat belt safety. From heartbroken parents, to you reading this now, here is their message:

1) Talk to your children and keep talking to them about the importance of wearing a seat belt...no matter how far you are going.

2) Parents, the responsibility behind the wheel is on us, too. How often do we, as adults, get in a hurry to get here or there? It takes three seconds to fasten your seat belt. Those three seconds can change your life and the lives of those who know and love you.

3) Drive responsibly. It’s not worth your life or your passenger’s life.

4) And specifically, if you have children, you are setting the driving example every time you get in the car, so buckle up. Our faith in God has never been stronger, and we trust in His plan - a plan that was decided on long before Kailee was ever born. We have filled our hearts with forgiveness, love and compassion for the driver and his family, who was a close friend. We saw a text message in Kailee's phone where she said that she was a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and we think one of those reasons is that her life was meant for something greater than what she could do from here. Please help us celebrate her life. Join the movement and please consider donating to our seat belt awareness campaign in Kailee Mills' honor. All funds will go towards our four programs: Seat Belt Safety Awareness, Family Assistance, College Scholarships, and First Responder Support.

Education has the power to save lives. 💚

Recently, we had the opportunity to bring our in-person seatbelt safety program to students at Tomball High School, with Dustin Creager sharing Kailee’s story and an important message about the choices we make every time we get in a vehicle.

As one of the first responders at Kailee’s crash, Dustin brings a deeply personal perspective to this conversation and reminds students why buckling up matters.

This program was made possible through the generous support of the Tomball Regional Health Foundation. We’re grateful for their partnership in helping us reach more young people with lifesaving education.

Buckle up. Every ride. Every time.

Kailee’s legacy lives on through every person who chooses to carry her message forward. 💚

Through families, volunteers, students, schools, partners, and supporters across the country, her story continues to spark conversations, encourage safer choices, and remind people to buckle up.

What began with one family sharing Kailee’s story has grown into a community united by a mission to save lives and protect others.

Thank you for being part of that community and for helping Kailee’s legacy reach further every day.

Sometimes, the simplest reminder can be the most important. 💚

Before the car moves, take a moment to make sure everyone is buckled. Front seat, back seat, every passenger, every ride.

Send this to someone you love as a reminder to always buckle up. Because looking out for each other can be as simple as two words: Buckle up.

484 postcards. 20 sent internationally. One lifesaving message.

We had an incredible time at Amazon RelayCon sharing the Kailee Mills Foundation’s mission and reminding people that every time you buckle up, someone 💚s you.

Our goal was 400 postcards, and the RelayCon community showed up in a BIG way. Together, we sent 484 postcards, including 20 internationally, to countries such as Canada, Thailand, and the UK!

Even more exciting, reaching our postcard goal means the Kailee Mills Foundation qualified to receive $25,000 from Amazon to help us continue saving lives and protecting families through education, awareness, and support.

Thank you to Amazon and everyone who stopped by our booth, took a photo, sent a postcard, and helped spread Kailee’s message around the world.

Buckle Up, Someone 💚s You

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.

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.
