The members of OSAP began the Safe Prom Initiative 13 years ago to help address the issue of underage drinking during prom and graduation season. The initiative targets both area retailers that are involved with prom activities (florists, tux rental, limos, hair salons, etc) and high school students to reach everyone connected to prom and graduation activities. This year, over 500 area retailers received fliers to display-or business cards to tuck into tux jackets-promoting a "safe" prom. Over 4500 stickers, messaged with stay safe and above the influence wording, went to all 13 area high schools to be handed out with all prom tickets. This collaborative push show OSAP's dedication to making prom and graduation the safe and joyful time it should be.
We would also like to salute the following businesses for their help in promoting the safe prom message:
Anchor Party Store in Holland
MUGS Party Store in Grand Haven
