Chattanoogan Kevin Yates was just 25 when he was fatally injured by a drunk driver last year.
His mother and brother started an organization called "1N3"---the number of Americans affected by drunk driving.
Direct Auto Insurance has worked with Tiki Finlayson and Derek Yates as they took their message across the south.
Wednesday the company donated a new SUV to that effort.
Nearby is the crashed vehicle in which her son lost his life.
In a few years, one more person will join the team..the young woman who went to jail for 8 years in the drunk driving crash.

Tiki Finlayson, Founder of "1N3"Campaign

"She put in her sentencing papers that she wanted to come and be a part of 1n3...and we chose to forgive her..and together she and I are going to make a change and impact the world for the better."

The car in which Kevin Yates died also goes with the family as they tell their story to schools and civic groups.
