Safe and Sober

Fleet Feet Sports Winston-Salem is proud to support our friend David Daggett of Daggett and Shuler in educating the local high school community about the importance of staying safe and sober.  Studies show that young people, even parents, who hear positive messages multiple times will make better decisions.

What is the Safe Sober Prom Night Program?
The Safe Sober Prom Night Program was founded in 1991 to encourage teens to stay safe and drug and alcohol free during Prom. Over 450 High Schools in North Carolina and South Carolina have participated in the program. Since its inception more than 400,000 students have signed the Safe Sober pledge. In addition, more than $45,000 has been awarded to schools with the highest percentage of participation.

How does the Safe Sober Prom Night Program work?
The Safe Sober Prom Night Program creates awareness about the dangers of drugs and alcohol – particularly around Prom time. The Program asks students to sign a pledge card agreeing to stay drug and alcohol free on prom night. High Schools across the Carolinas use this program on its own, but many also combine it with other activities including dramatizations of accidents scenes involving drunk drivers. Some schools involve their SADD or drama departments, while others use the prom committee or other enthusiastic students.
