YAB Expands "Take a Stand" Campaign
In July 2009, Buffalo County Community Partners and the Buffalo County Youth Advisory Board were awarded the Governor's Safe and Drug Free Communities Grant to continue to develop their "Take A Stand" media campaign for television advertising. Through this grant, the youth also sponsored a Tri-City Storm hockey game, promoting their message: two out of three Buffalo County high school students choose NOT to engage in alcohol use. The theme is designed to show the importance of youth taking a stand against negative decisions. The 30-second television commercial began airing on cable channels as well as NTV in January 2010, and will be featured during the live broadcast of the Jan. 30 Storm hockey game.
This project is supported by Federal Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities funds awarded to the subrecipient by the Governor's Office and the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.
