Students Against Destructive Decisions
July 2013     SADDLines
 

It was great to see a number of IL students at the SADD National Conference this year in Orlando. It was a terrific event and next year will be even better. Conference attendees will get to rally on Capitol Hill and meet with legislators.... sound familiar? Here in Illinois, we call it DomeShift!! I hope you plan on attending DomeShift in the spring of 2014 and the SADD National Conference in the summer of 2014 so you can advocate on a state level, and a national level. 

 

But in the meantime, who needs cash? for your chapter? for an advisor? If you could use $500, please continue reading...

Hope to see that you've registered for Celebrate My Drive in time to get one of our $500 mini-grants!

Celebrate My Drive

Celebrate My Drive is a community celebration sponsored by State Farm. It emphasizes the positives of safe choices behind the wheel and the freedom and responsibility that comes with getting one's license.
 
By registering before September 30, your school will be eligible to compete for one of the 100 grants or two concerts that will be awarded throughout this promotion. To increase your chances of winning and to help your students be safer drivers, you should encourage students, staff and community members to join the online community at celebratemydrive.com between Oct. 18-26, and commit to safe driving. 

You have the opportunity to win a $100,000 grant for your high school, as well as a concert featuring a chart-topping music artist or band (artist will be announced on the 18th).
 
$ Available for your Chapter NOW (if you register NOW)! 
 
Illinois SADD still has $500 grants available for SADD chapters that participate in State Farm's Celebrate My Drive event this fall!  In order to earn your SADD chapter a $500 grant, you must:
  • Log onto www.celebratemydrive.com to register your school (note: you can fill out the registration form for your administrator, but they need to be aware you are registering).
  • Select a date between October 18-26 to hold a local teen safe driving event (book Illinois SADD to come to your school for your event.  We still have some of these dates available!). 
  • Contact a local State Farm Agent to let them know you are hosting a Celebrate My Drive event, and you would like their support. 
Then, you just email Illinois SADD confirming you have done these three things.  As long as a grant is available, the funds will be reserved for your chapter! Email [email protected] today to reserve your grant - while grants last:)!

Why not take advantage of this great opportunity?


 

I hope your summer is going swimming, and you are getting excited for all the cool stuff happening this Fall.

 

We want to make sure as many SADD chapters take advantage of this amazing opportunity as possible. 

Please email me at: 
[email protected] with suggestions of what you would like to see shared here, and on Facebook or our website. Also, I want to spotlight your SADD chapter, so please get in touch with me if your chapter is doing big things (and I am sure it is!). 

 

 

As always, if you haven't done so, please register your chapter!! 

  

Sincerely,
