Welcome to the Katie Marchetti Memorial Foundation web site. This is dedicated to the memory of Katlyn Marie Marchetti, who perished in an automobile accident on Saturday, March 4, 2006.

   Katie was not wearing her seatbelt that fateful night. Had she been wearing her seatbelt, we firmly believe that Katie would have survived the accident and be with us today.

   Our foundation and all those that have been touched by Katie’s passing are dedicated to bringing awareness to seatbelt usage and keeping all of our loved ones safe.

   Please do your part and make sure that you, your friends, and your loved ones buckle up…every time you step foot into a motor vehicle.

   And remember – always “Click for Katie”!
