May is National Youth Traffic Safety Month (NYTSM), and we're hoping that your chapter will be holding some sort of traffic safety event this month - a seat belt survey, quick-click challenge, No Phone Zone pledge drive, mock crash, or other activities.  We wanted to let you know about a few important chances for your chapter to win cash prizes as part of this month!

 

First, the National Organizations for Youth Safety (NOYS) are again offering their "50 BEST AWARDS" - 50 prizes of $1,000 each to the 50 best traffic safety projects.  If your chapter is already doing a traffic safety project, why not take 10 minutes, fill out an application form, and have a chance at $1,000?  Even better, the first 100 applications submitted will win an automatic $100 prize just for entering!  And if all that wasn't enough, just by applying, you can help SADD National win $10,000 for the national conference!  PLEASE take 10 minutes and fill out the form today.

 

Another contest as part of NYTSM is the "YOUTH-TURN IT AROUND" contest. This NOYS program shows how schools and communities have taken a tragedy and turned it into a positive action.  Did your school or community suffer a tragedy?  How did your chapter respond?  Tell your story, and your chapter could win $2,500.

Finally, the Act Out Loud contest is happening again this year, and there are eight chapters involved.  Visit www.actoutloud.org to learn more about the teams competing.  Then from May 10-21, vote every day for a SADD Chapter.  Last year, SADD Chapters finished first and third in the competition - let's go for a clean sweep this year!
