The Program
The program was originally designed to speak to adults over 21 year of age, but has been expanded to include those under 21, including Elementary School students and parents. The program works to bring attention to what happens when you drink and drive and to explain the effects drinking and driving has on the family and friends of someone that is injured or killed.
Through the use of audience interaction, each individual is put into the position of one of the victim's family members. The outcome of this experience is to make each person rethink his or her choice to drive while under the influence. Hopefully, we can change the outcome of a person's actions. To save their or someone else's family from going through the pain and suffering.
The program is 25 to 45 minutes in length and is designed for groups in size from 12 to 500.
