Who Can Host?

Safe Driving Week can be hosted by almost any group that wants to help students make safer choices behind the wheel.

Fraternities, sororities, student organizations, athletic teams, high schools, colleges, alumni groups, parent groups, and community partners can all lead a campaign. You do not need a large team or complicated event plan to get started. A few committed volunteers, a visible location, and a willingness to talk with classmates can make a real difference.

Hunter’s Fund provides the materials, guidance, and support to help each group organize a meaningful campaign. Whether your goal is to collect pledges, honor someone affected by a crash, build campus awareness, or raise funds to expand safe-driving efforts, Safe Driving Week gives students a simple way to lead.

How to Start a Safe Driving Week

Step 1: Choose Your Dates

Pick a week that works well for your school, chapter, team, or organization. Many groups choose dates that connect with campus events, philanthropy weeks, homecoming, safety awareness months, or times when student traffic is high.

Step 2: Recruit Volunteers

Invite classmates, chapter members, teammates, friends, parents, alumni, or school leaders to help. Volunteers can staff pledge tables, promote the campaign, share social media posts, take photos and videos, or help with fundraising events.

Step 3: Set Up Pledge Tables

Pledge tables are the heart of Safe Driving Week. Volunteers set up in busy areas such as student centers, dining halls, libraries, walkways, athletic events, or school entrances. They talk with students about distracted driving and invite them to sign Hunter’s Pledge not to drive distracted.

Step 4: Promote the Campaign

Use posters, emails, texts, social media, campus announcements, and word of mouth to bring attention to the campaign. Some groups add creative events such as a car wash, Pie in the Face fundraiser, 5K run, petting zoo, dine-and-donate night, or dare-me challenge to bring more students in.

Step 5: Share Results

At the end of the campaign, share what your group accomplished. Report how many pledges were signed, how many volunteers participated, how much money was raised, and what moments stood out. Photos, videos, and testimonials help inspire other campuses to host their own Safe Driving Week.

Every campaign matters. Whether your group reaches 50 students or 5,000, each conversation is a chance to prevent a distracted-driving tragedy before it happens.
