Catch You Later Foundation

Catch you later is the best nonprofit. It helps bring safety awareness to drivers and passengers about distracted and impaired driving. Pam has shared her story to thousands of people in hopes of saving additional lives and to help others make the right/safe decision.

Meet this wonderful lady, after tragedy struck her family. She has chosen to start this organization to keep and honor her late husband and baby girl. She could have taken a much different road, yet she has become a warrior , out there getting the message through anyone that will listen!!! Educating young and the not so young, civilians and first responders. It's an honor to know her.

Amazing charity - Educates students as well as professionals on driving non distracted. Pam’s story is heartbreaking but how she educated others is amazing.

This nonprofit organization has been amazing!! Pam has been such an advocate in the school systems and law enforcement! She has made such an incredible impact on our community! While she suffered a tremendous loss, she still has fought to prevent what happened to her to happening to someone else. This foundation has brought awareness about distracted driving and has given back to the community!

Pam puts her heart and soul and sanity into making this a great organization. Ive seen her literally drop everything in her life at a moments notice to come and put on an amazing program for my youth organization over and over again. 110% every time.

The Catch You Later Foundation does amazing work for an extraordinary cause - raising awareness about impaired driving. Pam spoke at my son’s high school a few years ago and I’ll never forget him coming home to talk to me about it because of how much it resonated with him. Catch You Later Foundation is truly a “great nonprofit!”

“Catch you later” foundation is perfect for Pam’s family. It has dual meaning. Present and past that makes you just think about the words, and how much impact it has on her and Allys life here on earth. It’s to reach out to kids and adults who may drive buzzed, high, drunk or whatever in this world is easily bought to impare drivers. I remember Tim and Bridget and mostly because our girls did twirling together. Ally and Bridget were always like 2 squirrels playing. Such closeness they had even very young. Tim was a good man I bought chips and Gatorade. Next twirling practice he brought bigger chips and bigger Gatorades for the kids. I will always remember that was our ice breaker. Then 2 of the most important lives out of 3 were taken from Pam as a wife and mother. Just like that in an instant. This was a shock to her and Ally. Just horrible. It could have been avoided if pills and drugs were not so accessible. I support Pam and Ally and she impacts young lives when she speaks. I can’t imagine her shoes she walks in, but she knows mine is not easy either. You see we need “catch you later” foundations. For people to learn and make an impact to those who may have made bad choices.

This is an absolutely flawlessly led non-profit. From the awareness, lectures, fundraisers, and social media prescience, Catch You Later Foundation, is resilient in its efforts to keep their mission at the forefront to spread awareness of the NJ State #77 Aggressive Driving program. We often speak of turning tragedy into advocacy, This is the epitome of making a difference in the world.

This foundation is very educational and continues to teach many organizations and people the dangers of intoxicated driving. This is a very important and needed foundation.

My grandson, a high school student, gained excellent and invaluable driver safety information from the lecture given by Pam O’Donnell from the Catch You Later Foundation. So extremely important for new young drivers to be aware of impaired driving. So grateful that he had this experience.

This is a wonderful program teaching people young and old the perils of driving impaired and the destructive aftermath on families. As a trauma nurse, I believe that every high school should have Pam come and speak to their students. It could save their lives as well as others. Knowledge is power.

Pam has worked very hard to get the message out about distracted and impaired driving. She has done this ever since losing her husband and daughter. She is constantly speaking to groups to get the message across to all, so no other family has to go through what she and her remaining daughter has gone through and they continue to deal with their loss of their beloved family.

Pam has been able to take a tragedy and turn in into a life’s mission to help prevent other families from enduring the same tragedy. Unfortunately a tragic event, as the one she experienced, has an impact on more then just those of the lives lost. To not only save a life but to also prevent multiple families’ loss.

Pam's dedication to this organization is awe inspiring. She shares her story and relives her pain repeatedly to hopefully prevent other families from this indescribable pain.

The outreach that this nonprofit does is incredible. Pam does a terrific job teaching high school students the dangers of distracted and drunk driving.

This organization continues to bring awareness which is so incredibly important for society
I, myself, am a survivor of a drunk driver
I’ve known Pam from when I lived in Bayonne, NJ
I see and watch her on a daily basis putting her all in for such a sad cause, yet she turned a tragedy into a positive organization. No one should ever have to be in Pam’s shoes. If anyone should be recognized and applauded it is Pam. she continues to educate and advocate for safety and awareness to this horrific situation. God Bless you Pam and your organization.

It is important for everyone to realize their actions have consequences. A single drink, or drag or sniff can cause major devastation. A death is not only the lose of that loved one or in this case 2. It also causes a deep sadness, depression to the family members whom survive! It needs to be known that one persons terrible choices can effect many people, not just that one person.

I watch Pam and the foundation from afar and continue to be amazed at what they do! I’m happy to support them in what little ways i can! The contributions are well worth it!

I’ve known Pam since grammar school. I see and watch her on a daily basis putting her all in for such a sad but yet turned into positive organization. No one should ever have to walk the path Pam has and continues to do! If anyone should be recognized and applauded it is Pam and how she continues to educate and advocate for safety and awareness. Her loss has pushed her to this path. We should all follow Pam’s example . ❤️ Her organization continues to help!

Pam does a great job spreading awareness about driving impaired. They dedicate time every day to help others. This foundation is awesome and has my support 100%.

Pam's story and what she does truly is amazing. As much as it hurts my heart to know the story personally it's bitter sweet to know her message is getting out there. When my son was a senior in high school a very well like teacher/coach was drinking and driving and killed a man. Many students and teachers stood up for this teacher/coach and raised money for his rehab, rallied in him not going to jail and all that. My son however did not, spoke up, which he went to a small private school, had his peers look at him a certain way cause he believed this well liked teacher/coach was wrong in deciding to drive impair. He brought up Pam's story and made others realize the pain Pam and Ali went through and still go through each and everyday. My son will be 21 this week and since the day he got his license he puts his phone down on vibrate to stay focus on the road, always volunteers to be the dd. Pam has made an impact on my son and his decision in distracted driver

This is a wonderful foundation. Awareness is key & the founder brings that to the youngest of groups & beyond. Love that scholarships are available for students in her area. She really does make a difference.

My child was in her drivers Ed class when the Catch You Later Foundation did a presentation. It opened up her eyes as to how dangerous being a distracted driver can be. We truly are grateful for Mrs. O’Donnell and her organization.

Catch you Later foundation is an important tool in getting the message out to people that distracted driving kills. They make people aware that their negligence can cause lives -but awareness saves lives. Getting the message out to both young and old drivers saves lives.

Pam gets no money! She holds raffles to support scholarships and travels to speak about Distracted Driving and the horrors it causes. She speaks out about many different ways drivers are distracted and they cause often fatal crashes.

My heart breaks but if anyone can manage getting the facts and her story out, Pam can. She never says no to a HS lecture to our teens on the dangers of impaired and distracted driving. It doesn’t take much to get me to support a fantastic charity.

Catch You Later was born of a horrific tragedy. Many people who experience the loss of both a spouse and a child would curl up in a ball and give up on themselves and on the world. But this wife/mother harnessed her righteous grieving anger and works to prevent anyone else to losing loved ones to drunk/drugged/otherwise impaired driving.
My heart goes out to Pam and her remaining child, along with my thanks for her dedication to this cause.

The Catch You Later Foundation is changing minds and saving lives! This Foundation is also helping those of us who were robbed of loved ones by impaired and dangerous drivers by inspiring us to tell our stories and join the army of people who are on the same mission - to educate and end impaired driving. This organization has been instrumental in getting our family to move, even in our grief, toward helping others and working at #savinglivestogether! Thank you for all of your courageous and important work, Catch You Later Foundation!

This nonprofit is so valuable in the lessons they share with my students and students across the state. Such good things they do!

This charity does amazing work in honor of Tim and Bridget ! They do awesome outreach and teaching!

When you sit down to hear Pam speak it will have you leaving knowing she is making a difference. The told story of her family and the pain that haunts them forever will have an everlasting impact on your heart. Distractive driving kills and so does being under the influence. Keep doing what your doing pam

Pam and the Catch you Later foundation is changing lives across the nation! She shows amazing courage by telling her story.

The bravery Pam displays by sharing her story to help others is unmatched!
Keeping her husband and daughters memory as a beacon of light for others to have awareness of distracted driving and the possible consequences.
Thank you for your steadfast courage Pam!

I’ve known Pam almost my whole life, & even when we were kids, she was always so caring & compassionate. And through the years, no matter what life threw at her, she made something good & meaningful come from it. Catch You Later is a fantastic program that not only teaches the tremendous responsibility of driving safely & soberly to young people, it’s a constant reminder to anyone who gets behind the wheel to think of those you love, & to drive like your life depends on it. Because it does. God bless Pam for getting this message everywhere, people need to hear it, feel it, & live it!

Pam is an incredible person who has made it her life goal to spread the message of not driving distracted. After half of her family was killed in a collision that was 100% preventable, she created this foundation and has shared her story with many schools, universities, and programs. Everyone who has been at one of Pam’s presentations that I have talked to has been impacted by it and each person has nothing but positive things to say about Pam and her mission. She is one of the sweetest women I have ever met, so please support this foundation if you have the ability to!

Pam and Ali have risen above what NO ONE should ever have to. Pam has taken a personal tragedy and turned it into her life's mission to try and prevent this from happening to anyone else. Her selflessness is remarkable. She doesn't realize how many people she touches with her story every time she speaks. If she saves just one life, she's done her job. Proud to be not only a supporter, but her friend.

As a professional in this field, I've seen many individuals state that they were going to make "changes" and become advocates when faced with devastating adversity. Very few of these individuals actually followed through with their promises of advocacy. The CYL Foundation was created from two (2) devastating losses within the same family. The CYL Foundation is an advocacy group that brings awareness & teaches school age children, their parents, civic groups , first responders & others the dangers of distracted & impaired driving. Thousands of dollars in college scholarships are also awarded annually in a further effort to bring attention to this worthy cause.

Pam O'Donnell started The Catch You Later Foundation after half of her family was taken from her in a car crash by a drunk and drugged driver. Pam is a great advocate for distracted driving. She goes above and beyond to educate high school kids all over New Jersey on driving while intoxicated. She also raises money for college scholarships in honor of her late husband and daughter. Please help Pam and her daughter Ali continue honoring Tim and Bridget by donating to this Non-Profit!
