Programs
Through various grants and funding programs, the Coalition’s goal has been to prevent the abuse of alcohol, illegal drugs, and tobacco products. We also strive to limit the access and usage of these products by our youth.

Sticker Shock
The mission of Sticker Shock is simple; preventatively increase the awareness of the legal implications to those who might provide alcohol to underage persons. This easy to implement activity creates a partnership and a shared commitment to make a difference among business owners, law enforcement and most importantly, the young adults and teens at the focus of this issue. Here in Rice County, Kansas, many of our leading law enforcement personnel are supportive of this initiative and have participated in many of these events.
