Carol and Kevin White have established the Taylor White Foundation for Advancing our Community, Inc. in memory of their son. Taylor was killed in an automobile accident while out with his friends. In a desire for Taylor's death to be a force for good, a foundation has been created that works toward building a community environment that better supports Juneau teens in healthy choices around high risk behaviors (including drugs and alcohol).
The foundation envisions focusing in 3 areas:
1. explore proactive measures that support current efforts to limit access to alcohol and drugs;
2. use current research on teen brains to support and create evidence-based education and awareness efforts that are relevant and meaningful to teens;
3. develop activities and outlets for teenagers that are engaging, exciting, and challenging with acceptable risk.
