The purpose of this list is to provide participants of the "Party in the Right Spirit" with information about non-profit community resources that may be helpful in planning campus activities to raise awareness about the dangers of unsafe partying, impaired driving, and injury and risk associated with drugs and alcohol.
Many of these agencies provide free or low-cost materials/speakers to help your group get its message across in a fun, informative and effective way. Check out their web sites. Find out what is available to you.
