The resolution commemorates the life of Elana Grace Korey, a 20-year-old student with strong ties to Vermont, who tragically lost her life in a car accident on July 28, 2024. The accident, which involved impaired driving, resulted in the deaths of both Elana and the driver. In response to this devastating loss, her parents established the Ollies Angels Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of impaired and reckless driving. The foundation aims to educate young adults on the importance of sober driving and accountability, thereby preventing similar tragedies.

To honor Elana's memory and promote responsible driving, the resolution designates August 2, 2026, as 802 Day in Vermont, named after the state's area code. This day will serve as an annual observance to encourage safe driving practices within the community. The Ollies Angels Foundation has initiated projects such as Project 802 and Catch a Safe Ride, which focus on raising awareness and providing alternative transportation options for those who may be impaired. The resolution also extends condolences to Elana's family and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the Ollies Angels Foundation.
