The Tyler Ledezma scholarship was created to honor the memory of a young man who made mistake that cost him his life. In 2010 Tyler Ledezma of East Moline was driving without a seatbelt and even though he was not driving at a high speed, he lost control of his car and hit a tree. Since he was not wearing a seatbelt he was thrown out of the car and died on the way to the hospital. Tyler Ledezma loved playing baseball. To honor the memory of this young man, whose life was interrupted even before it had really begun, his family awards scholarships, hosts annual baseball tournament and educates everyone about the importance of the use of the seatbelts.\u00a0<\/p>
