Since her death, Caitlin’s family has hosted golf and cornhole tournaments and other events to raise money to provide scholarships to local students, who write essays on why you shouldn’t text and drive and why you should wear your seat belt.
“Caitlin made a life changing decision that we want to educate people on. Don’t text and drive and please wear your seatbelt,’’ said Niki.
