Sticker Shock Campaign: Addressing Underage Drinking in Our Community
Underage drinking remains a serious concern in our community, and it takes all of us to make a difference. That’s why we’re excited to launch our Sticker Shock Campaign, an impactful initiative aimed at raising awareness and preventing youth access to alcohol.
What is the Sticker Shock Campaign?
This campaign is a community-driven effort to remind adults about the consequences of providing alcohol to minors. Bright, attention-grabbing stickers with powerful messages will be placed on pizza boxes in participating stores. These stickers highlight the legal and social consequences of underage drinking and emphasize the importance of keeping alcohol out of the hands of youth.
Why It Matters
Every year, underage drinking leads to tragic consequences, including car crashes, health issues, and even fatalities. By reducing youth access to alcohol, we can:
- Protect young lives and reduce risky behaviors.
- Strengthen community awareness of the law and the dangers of underage drinking.
- Foster a culture of accountability and prevention.
How You Can Help
- Retailers: Join us by allowing stickers to be placed on pizza boxes in your establishment.
- Volunteers: Participate in the campaign by helping distribute stickers and engaging with the community.
- Parents and Adults: Talk openly with your kids about the risks of underage drinking, and commit to not providing alcohol to teens.
Join Us in Making a Difference
Our Sticker Shock Campaign will kick off very soon. Together, we can create a safer and healthier community by taking a stand against underage drinking.
