A Story People
Simmons 3 was founded by Katie Derouen and her mother, Dawn Simmons, in memory of Lindy, Christopher, and Kamryn.
After losing their loved ones to impaired driving, they made the decision to turn their grief into action.
Today, through the Beyond initiative, Simmons 3 brings this message to students, workplaces, and communities, reaching people with a powerful reminder of how quickly life can change and why the choices we make matter.

Real-World Awareness
We help people understand how one decision can impact lives, families, and entire futures, shaping who they become and the path they take.
Community Engagement
We bring this message to communities, speaking in churches, conferences, and other settings to challenge how people think and the decisions they make.
Through the Beyond initiative, we deliver powerful, prevention-focused presentations that challenge people to think ahead, take responsibility, and understand how their choices impact themselves and others..
Rooted in a true story, this experience goes beyond awareness. It focuses on identity, character, and decision-making, equipping people to make better choices in real-life situations.
