Rinehart survived an accident that claimed the lives of three of her family members when their vehicle was hit by an alleged drunk driver.
“After losing my dad, sister and grandma in a tragic accident that left me as the sole survivor, I had to make a choice,” said Rinehart. “I kept fighting and I chose to dedicate my life to teaching others about the dangers of drunk driving and how it can instantly destroy a family. I am thankful to be alive and to have a chance to live for my loved ones. This scholarship is a huge factor in helping me achieve my goals. Thank you!”
