Foley High School student Caitlin Buemi was tragically killed in a car accident on March 7, 2010. She was a bright, athletic, loving girl who was full of life. Caitlin was a competition cheerleader, varsity soccer player, varsity cheerleader, ran track and was an active member of her church. She worked as well as maintained an a/b average in school. She wanted to go to the University of Alabama to peruse a career in sports medicine. Since her death, Caitlin’s family has hosted golf and softball tournaments and other events to raise money to provide scholarhips to local students, who write essays on why you shouldn’t text and drive and why you should wear your seatbelt.
“Caitlin made a life changing decision that we want to educate people on. Don’t text and drive and please wear your seatbelt,’’ said Caitlin’s mom, Niki Grady. “We would like to have 30 teams.’’
