Let's Talk About Prom

The holiday season is in full swing! I know what we’re all thinking about this time of year: prom! Okay, maybe I’m the only person thinking about prom in December, but you should be too! Now is the perfect time to start brainstorming your chapter plans for a prom event. It’ll be here before you know it!

One of my favorite programs that SADD offers is the PROMise Kit through a partnership with AAA – The Auto Club Group. This program is designed to keep everyone safe on the roadway during prom and graduation season by raising awareness of the dangers of distracted-, alcohol- and/or marijuana-impaired driving. 

The promise is simple: I promise to not drive impaired, I promise to not let my friends drive impaired, and I promise to get home safely or call a caring adult for help. The promise is printed on a banner with space for student signatures, along with some fun stuff in the kit too! Last year my kit had some keychains, phone wallets, highlighters, and a couple of other small things. 

We had over 100 schools last year receive a free AAA PROMise Kit from eligible states. There are a bunch of different ways to use your kit: be creative! And, as always, remember to share photos from your events with us @SADDNation.

The free kits are only available in AAA – The Auto Club Group states: Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virgin Islands, and Wisconsin. Don’t see your state listed? Connect with us for access to our Please Return On Monday (PROM) resource, available for all 50 states!
