Prom is consider a Right of Passage for most american youth.  Teens have told us that because prom is so important that they feel pressured to participate and in engage in behavior that they might not have normally engaged in.  In some cases, the culture around prom night preparation can also include how to purchase and use illegal substances. It is our goal to engage entire communities to raise awareness around the importance of safe and substance free prom nights. By working with parents, students, schools, prom related businesses and community vendors; we can send a strong message to teens and parents that prom night can be a wonderful experience without using alcohol and drugs.
