About the foundation
Not long after his 21st birthday, Capricorn Coast local Jason Rich was involved in a car accident which tragically took his life. The foundation was established by Jason’s best mate, Jacob Mcluskie as a way of ensuring Jason’s legacy lived on, but to also teach young drivers defensive driving skills and knowledge.
The impact that losing a young life has on the people left behind is devastating. Jason’s legacy lives on through his foundation. The story of Jason Rich is an opportunity to educate our young drivers and change the way our young people view driving but more importantly how they act behind the wheel.
