Albert Pujols is teaming up with AT&T to raise awareness about the risks of texting and driving. The two sides are combining their efforts in this public safety initiative by persuade teens, and all wireless users at that, to concentrate while their driving, and wait to send that single text message. Kids that visit participating AT&T retails locations stand a chance to bring the former MVP to their school for an assembly.
“We all know that texting is now part of everyday life, but nothing is so important to risk lives,” said Pujols. “It only takes a few seconds for that message to mean the difference between life and death. It can wait.”
AT&T’s vice president and general manager for the Greater Midwest Region, Nancy Garvey said, “We are thrilled to be working with Albert to help us deliver an important safety message and at the same time provide an experience of a lifetime for one lucky student.” She went on by adding, “While our lucky student gets to ride to school in a limo, meet Albert and receive a jersey, his or her classmates will take part in a valuable educational experience on the dangers of texting while driving.”
