Local Public Awareness Campaign to Combat Underage Drinking

Castro Valley Community Action Network (CVCAN) is teaming up with different community members to promote a campaign that will share information on the health risks of underage drinking and the legal consequences of providing alcohol to youth.

Castro Valley Community Action Network (CVCAN) is excited to implement the Parents Who Host, Lose The Most: Don’t be a party to teenage drinking public awareness campaign developed by Drug-Free Action Alliance to provide parents and community members with accurate information about the health risks of underage drinking and the legal consequences of providing alcohol to youth.

The campaign encourages parents and the community to send a unified message that teen alcohol consumption is not acceptable. It is illegal, unsafe, and unhealthy for anyone under age 21 to drink alcohol.

Be on the lookout for the following items which will promote the campaign.
