With prom nights on the way, area businesses, community drug and alcohol coalitions and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office have teamed up to promote the Prom Perfect campaign, “for a safe and sober prom night.”

“Prom Perfect messages, featured on posters, wallet-sized cards and clothes hangers, are being made available for use in stores, restaurants and limousines as well as with tuxedos, dresses, corsages and other prom-related products,” according to the coalition Web site (www.promperfect.org).

Parents and friends can participate by sending text messages via the Prom Perfect Web site to their prom-goers, encouraging them to have an alcohol- and drug-free night.

Prom Perfect is a joint effort of Beaverton Together!, Helping Empower Youth Together! and Tigard Turns the Tide.
