Learn the risks of alcohol

The risks associated with drinking alcohol.

Coaster initiative

For our coaster initiative, we wanted to help our local community understand the risks with drinking alcohol.

Team effort

We worked as a team to create coasters with facts about use of alcohol and the risks that may be unknown to many users.

Local stores

We dropped off the coasters at local businesses, to be handed out to individuals willing to learn more!

Help build our community.
