"New Life" - Shawn Bulloch Intoxalock Submission

DES MOINES, Iowa, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Intoxalock, the nation's leading provider of ignition interlock devices with more than 5,500 service centers, the largest network in the industry, and a strong advocate for impaired driving prevention, today has named Shawn Bulloch as the recipient of the 2024 Drunk Driving Prevention Scholarship. This annual scholarship honors students who champion road safety and use their voice to influence positive changes in their communities.

Kathy Boden Holland, chief executive officer at Mindr, praised Shawn's unique ability to connect emotionally and inspire action through his message. "Shawn exemplifies what this scholarship is all about, which is using education and communication as tools to drive change and reduce drunk driving," said Boden Holland. "What makes his message so compelling is how thoughtfully it's built. It tells a moving story of how graduation, a moment designed to celebrate new life and fresh beginnings, can be tragically taken away by one reckless choice. It reminds us that drunk driving does more than claim lives, but it interrupts futures. That is why our company remains committed to reducing alcohol-related crashes and helping restore individual freedom to drive. Shawn's work is a shining example of how young leaders can leverage tools to educate and advocate for real solutions. We congratulate Shawn on winning the Intoxalock Scholarship and are proud to support his career journey. By sharing his powerful message, we honor his work that will inspire smart choices that will save lives."

Shawn is an ambitious marketing major at the University of Georgia and hopes to pursue a dual career path after graduation. He plans to continue building his wedding photography business while working at a digital marketing agency. His passion for visual storytelling and education resonated strongly in his application, most notably in the impactful PSA video.

In the video, Shawn tells an emotional story that captures both the heights and fragility of life. Guiding the viewer through important life milestones — graduating, surviving cancer and embracing a second chance on life — before explaining that one careless decision can bring it all to a tragic end through a drunk driving crash. As Shawn puts it in the video, "Devices such as Intoxalock help ensure that a new life won't turn into no life."

Shawn says the scholarship helps him in more ways than one.

"This scholarship will certainly alleviate the financial burden that is associated with attending college," he said. "But more importantly, it motivates me to speak up on issues that continuously affect our communities. Education is the best tool for generating true change, and I want to be someone who uses knowledge to move our society forward."

He added that his motivation to apply for the scholarship came from a deep sense of responsibility.

"Every time that I hear a story about casualties due to drunk driving, my heart aches for everyone involved because such incidents are truly preventable. Education surrounding drunk driving and its impacts is crucial today. If I have even a small part in spreading awareness for drivers' safety, I feel I have accomplished my goal of promoting the educational advancement of society."
