    “Mercedes-Benz is synonymous with achievement driven by innovation and ingenuity. We are thrilled to launch Driving Your Future to help educate and empower the next generation of leaders and innovators to enable communities to grow and thrive. We look forward to working with our incredible partners to bring this vision to life,” MBUSA President and CEO Dimitris Psillakis stated.

    MBUSA will fund programs that teach, develop, and empower children throughout their road to a prosperous future by using the cumulative power and expertise of each nonprofit partner. Driving Your Future will collaborate with Safe Kids Worldwide to promote safety and injury prevention awareness; Junior Achievement USA to support financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship skills training; and the Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund to give scholarships to military children.

    “As this next generation of students navigate a new way of learning, we know that there's an even greater need for education that is culturally relevant. Our partnership with Mercedes will enable us to strengthen our 3DE initiative, which re-engineers education to be more relevant, experiential and connected to real world knowledge to better prepare students for successful careers,” Junior Achievement USA President and CEO Jack Kosakowski stated.

    Meanwhile, Safe Kids Worldwide President Torine Creppy said, “Many people might be surprised to learn that preventable injuries are the number one cause of death to children in the United States. Our partnership with Mercedes will help us reach new families to prevent traffic and pedestrian injuries and deaths, and ensure more children have the chance to grow up in a safe environment.”

    “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Mercedes and deepen our impact,” Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund President MaryEllen Picciuto stated. “We are in the midst of a period of peak need as children of service members killed or wounded in action over the past 20 years of combat are now college aged.  Driving Your Future will enable us to support more military families and give back through education to the children needing our support the most.”
