LOCAL STUDENT WINS T-SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST
Safe Sober Prom Night Kicks Off 21st Year
The winner of the 2011 Safe Sober Prom Night T-shirt design contest is Cassandra Ellis, a senior at Career Center High School and Forsyth Middle College. Cassandra’s design will be featured on more than 13,000 t-shirts distributed to high school students in the Triad area as part of the Safe Sober Prom Night program.
During a surprise presentation at the Career Center, Cassandra was presented with the very first 2011 T-shirt produced and a scholarship check for $500 by attorneys David Daggett and Griff Shuler. Also in attendance were Cassandra’s family, school officials, and the Safe Sober staff.
Safe Sober Prom Night is a non-profit organization co-founded in 1991 by attorney David Daggett. The goal of Safe Sober Prom Night is to provide ongoing awareness and encourage positive peer pressure to reduce underage drinking and driving among young people.
Safe Sober Prom Night encourages high school students to be safe with a written pledge to stay drug and alcohol free on prom night. Students are given incentives to keep their commitment, including scholarships and a chance to win $1,000 for their school. To date, more than 400,000 students have signed the Safe Sober pledge.
