ABOUT US
In The Blink Of An Eye is a newly established nonprofit foundation created by Ms. Elly, Alysia's mom, and her family in 2022, to honor Alysia's name, with a mission to spread awareness within the community about the consequences of making the choice to ride with a driver under the influence, RWDUI. Our RWDUI initiative is one of a kind and will place awareness on a much-needed cause, in addition to DUI and not wearing a seat belt.
What makes our foundation unique is our creation of RWDUI initiative. We need your help in making this a movement!

-

Let us put this in perspective! Below are some statistics specifically in 2018, which Alysia is unfortunately included in...
Drunk Driving:
-
According to NHTSA, 10,511 people died in alcohol-related accidents in 2018.
-
Almost 2,000 college students between the ages of 18-24 die each year from unintentional alcohol-related injuries, including motor vehicle crashes.
-
50% of teens ages 21 or younger who died in car accidents were passengers, not motorist.
Speeding/Reckless Driving:
-
Speeding is at the top of the list of related factors for drivers involved in fatal crashes.
-
In 2018 there were 9,378 fatalities in crashes where at least one driver was speeding (the crash Alysia was killed in, both cars involved where speeding.)
Seatbelt Safety:
-
According to Traffic Safety Facts, 22,700 drivers and passengers were killed in car accidents in 2018, 43% were unrestrained.
-
The simple act of buckling up can prevent nearly 50% of all automobile deaths.
-
DID YOU KNOW there is limited to zero statistics that break down the number of passenger related fatalities caused by riding with a driver under the influence! We will be working to change this!!!!
It all sums up to CHOICES. It's your choice if you ride with a driver under the influence.
