Standing With Colombia After the Earthquake
When an earthquake strikes, the numbers can be overwhelming. Behind every number is a person, a family, a home, and a community trying to figure out what comes next.
On August 10, a powerful earthquake struck Colombia, causing significant damage and leaving communities in need of emergency assistance, medical care, shelter, and other basic necessities.
Comedy Defensive Driving Is Helping
At Comedy Defensive Driving, we spend most of our time talking about traffic tickets, defensive driving, and finding ways to make driver education a little more enjoyable. But being part of a community also means paying attention when people need help. We believe when people are facing a crisis, every bit of help counts.
For decades, Comedy Defensive Driving has worked to make driver education both useful and entertaining. That same spirit of helping people extends beyond the classroom.
