Todd Linder and his wife Rosa donated floor mats featuring a huge sunflower to Garden City High School, which is part of his safety mission. Linder has become a passionate advocate for safe driving around the community and state.
His daughter, Cassandra, lost her life in a crash on U.S. 50 that is close to Garden City High School in March of 2023. She was a victim of a distracted driver. He now shares Cassandra's story, urging everyone to put down their phones, eliminate distractions and prioritize safety on the road. His story is serving as a powerful message that one person can make a difference and help save lives. He hopes to inspire others to honor Cassandra's memory by sharing his journey and asking people to practice safe driving.
The floor mats that Linder provided to the high school have a big sunflower on them. Cassandra's favorite flower was the sunflower. The vibrant petals symbolize Cassandra's spirit, which continues to shine brightly through these donations. He believes that by embracing the sunflower, he can keep his daughter's story alive and remind people to stay focused while driving.
