December is National Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Month, and it is for that reason that the Benton County Above the Influence Coalition is partnering with Belle Plaine youth to remind adults that providing alcohol to minors is a crime.
Project Sticker Shock is a media campaign that brings adults and area youth together to combat underage drinking. The Belle Plaine Win With Wellness youth group, along with Above the Influence Coalition members and Benton County law enforcement, were in Belle Plaine area grocery and liquor stores on Tuesday, December 29th to place large orange stickers on multi-packs of alcoholic beverages. These stickers remind those purchasing the product that providing alcohol to minors is a crime.
Project Sticker Shock is sponsored by the Benton County Above the Influence Coalition. The coalition is a group of parents, business professionals, law enforcement, school representatives, and social service professionals from throughout Benton County who are partnering to provide a safer community for today’s youth by reducing underage drinking and drug use.
