"It's truly amazing to see 250 kids in the community come together and touch people's lives," Driver said.
Driver has been part of the challenge since it started. He said it's all about giving back. Driver shared that message with the students -- and donated a signed helmet and several anti-bullying books to the school.
"I think these kids are going to understand that they are going to make mistakes in their life and it's going to be a lesson they have to learn," Driver said.
