Contest--deadline November 7th
Calling all teen drivers: this is all about YOU! We've partnered with the National Road Safety Foundation (NRSF) on our first ever #drivingskills101 Driving Proficiency Contest!
Here's how this works - we want to hear about the challenges you face on the road. Create an original storyboard - a script, perhaps with pictures - for a public service announcement (PSA). Write a script that illustrates the obstacles you encounter while behind the wheel and creatively illustrate how you handle these situations. Pick from a list of driving skills, including blind spots, merging, driving distance/tailgating, and more. The theme is #drivingskills101. Try to illustrate your video around this concept - interpret it however you like. Make us laugh, make us cry - all we ask is that you increase awareness of these important driving skills for teens everywhere. There are big prizes! The winner gets to have their PSA professionally filmed and aired on national TV, AND receives $500 for your SADD chapter, AND two students and an adult advisor receive a FREE trip to the SADD National Conference in Orlando in June 2013 (including flights, hotel, and conference fee)! There are cash prizes for second and third place, too. What are you waiting for? Click here for more information and the application form. Hurry - the deadline to apply is Wednesday, November 7. |

Help us Raise $50,000 from AT&T
 Many chapters participated in the recent No Text on Board Pledge Day on September 19. But it's not over yet! Now those pledges add up to dollars for SADD. Here's how to help. First, take the pledge yourself. You'll need a Facebook account to link with the Causes platform - note that pledges taken anywhere else (like on the itcanwait.org website) don't count towards our fundraising goal. Once you've taken the pledge, invite your friends and family to do so. If 5 friends take the pledge, AT&T will donate not only the $2 per pledge, but a bonus of $5 as well - so you personally can raise $17 in just a few clicks!
