    • The Teen Memory Wall is a living memorial to teens that have died in car accidents. This site provides a place where friends and family can pay tribute, reminisce and share.

    • The Teen Memory Wall was created as a memorial for teenage drivers, who have passed away in a car accident. Nearly 11 teenagers died in car crashes every day when we launched the website back in 2010. Teens are still dying in car crashes today, and we want to raise awareness of this problem. Together, we can work to reduce the number of teen driving fatalities.

    • Allstate created the Teen Memory Wall because we believe some of these tragedies may have been preventable. Sadly this problem touches almost every community in the country. We want to help reduce or eliminate the thousands of driving fatalities that occur among teenagers every year. We created the memory wall to show the magnitude of this issue, but also to bring people together to grieve, commune, and to celebrate young lives.
