North Carolina Personal Injury Law Firm Announces the 2011 Michael A. DeMayo Scholarship Program Winners
For the ninth year in a row, The Law Offices of Michael A. DeMayo LLP has awarded 15 high school seniors a $2,500 college scholarship each because of their grades, community involvement, SAT scores, and original presentations educating other teens about the dangers of underage drinking and driving. Our Charlotte, North Carolina personal injury law firm would like to congratulate:
• Anna Marie DiMeo, Bessamar High School
• Casey Swoope, Central Academy of Technology
• Chelsea Barnes, South View High School

Visit The Law Offices of Michael A. DeMayo, LLP online to view these students’ winning presentations, which come in various formats (including PowerPoint, brochure, web design, and video).
Although our North Carolina injury lawyers are very familiar with the catastrophic consequences that underage drinking and driving can wreak on the lives of the victims, their family and friends, and the driver, we were stunned to find out that one-third of our scholarship winners have been directly affected by drunk driving.
This year, we received almost 350 scholarship applications and our Charlotte, North Carolina car accident law firm was impressed by the quality of the presentations sent by so many students from the North Carolina and South Carolina counties of Gaston, Mecklenburg, Catawba, Lincoln, Union, Cleveland, Rowan, Stanley, Caldwell, Iredell, Burke, Alexander, Scotland, Robson, Anson, Richmond, Cumberland, Lancaster, York, Marlboro, Chesterfield, and Dillon.
The Law Offices of Michael A. DeMayo remains committed to fighting drunk driving and working with teenagers to discourage them from underage drinking and riving. Each year, we also sponsor the Arrive Alive®: Don’t Drink and Drive! Program. Accompanied by guest speakers, we visit different high schools where we talk to teens about the dangers of drunk driving.
