Washington, D.C. – What Becca Levy lacks in years, she more than makes up for with heart.

The 13-year-old Washington D.C. native has has already had her fill of the drunk driving accidents that kill thousands each year. As a result, Levy is using her music to make a difference. And she is looking for a few Delaware teens to join her in a national effort. “Did you know that every 32 minutes, a person dies in a drunk driving accident in America?” Levy said. “When I learned this, I realized that this was something I wanted to do something about-and the best way was through music. It’s a language that all young people speak.”

Levy was recently named national spokesperson for the Stop Drunk Driving Now Kid’s Saving Kid’s CD Campaign. The campaign marks the first time that talented young musicians from across America will work together to use their music to raise awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence.

A total of 30 artists will appear on a digitally distributed CD, and the music of these talented young people will be available for free downloading by anyone in America. When people visit the page to hear the music, they will see a host of messages-designed by high school and college students-about the brutal costs of drunk driving and prevention messages.

Ronald Bellanti, president of Boston-based Illumina Records said this is another weapon in the drunk driving prevention arsenal.

“The earlier we start kids thinking about not getting behind the wheel drunk the better,” he said. The artists that appear on the CD will all be under the age of 18.
