Prom Season: Time To Make The Right Choices

It's prom season, that means for many teens in Western New York and beyond, it's time to dress up, get manis and pedis, and have a fabulous time at the prom.

As I heard one teacher say today, "Make it a night to remember, not be remembered."

That's why I talk at so many high schools this time of year. I remind teens that they're not invincible, and drinking and driving is not the responsible choice.

This year, I spoke at Mount Mercy Academy, Alden High School, Maple Grove High School, and South Park High School. Overall, I'd have to say that the students and staffers were receptive to the message.

New this year, all the teens who heard CAID's message received bright blue wristbands with the CAID name logo, and the message - "Choose responsibly, don't drink and drive".

Here's hoping that the students remember the message on prom night, graduation night, and for years to come.

Here are a few photos taken at South Park earlier today.








Until next time...

Getting Ready To Play Ball!





Preparations are underway for CAID's largest and most popular event of the year. It's the 4th Annual Crusade Against Impaired Driving Softball Tournament and Fundraiser. The place to be once again is Sunshine Park on East and West Road in West Seneca on Saturday, August 13 from 9-?.

We have several teams returning from last year, quite a few new teams who are planning to take part, and only 14 spots to fill. All the information you need to get your team registered is on the softball page.

We also have donation forms if you know someone who'd be interested in donating to our very large basket raffle. Music to jam and dance to will once again be provided by TomTom Productions.

We have lots of new stuff planned for this year - like special guest appearances, but we're still working out all the details....so stay tuned for more info!

Thanks for your continued support of CAID!!!
