Speaking Engagements

In addition to our annual musical fundraiser event, the goal of this charitable Society throughout the rest of the year is to promote safe driving practices for young drivers by sharing the story of Jay's accident and subsequent death, and the devastating impact his loss had on both family and friends.

Jay's father, Greg Drew, has spoken to audiences in high schools, driving schools, and has been featured in a variety of media articles and programs, telling the painful story of losing his son as a result of a speed related car accident.

Greg's presentations are deeply raw, emotional, and heartfelt. Often the feedback he receives afterwards from students confirm they now understand his message that the choices made in life can have life-altering consequences that reach far beyond the individual and well into the community.

The presentations are about how Greg lost his 17 year old son, Jason Stanley Drew, after complications from surgery due to a high speed single vehicle car crash. Greg speaks from his experiences as a professional firefighter of 28 years to that of a father holding his son’s hand while his heart beats its last beat in the ICU ward. Greg believes in safe driving decisions and the effects of making wrong choices.

Greg speaks frankly to his young audiences, and avoids "sugar-coating" the terrible events surrounding Jay's fatal accident. Greg impacts his listeners, and empowers them to make better choices – with safety being one of those choices.

Greg – and the Jammin' 4 Jay Charitable Society – welcomes your inquiries about our presentations and how they might benefit youth in your community. Invite Greg to speak at your venue.
