Drug-Free All Stars Complete Holiday Project Sticker Shock

The Drug-Free All Stars of The Coalition, Inc. recently completed a holiday-themed Project Sticker Shock, in partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation, Brookshire Brothers, and other local businesses. In Texas, there is an estimated 95% increase in the number of alcohol-related crashes that occur during the holiday period in comparison to non-holidays. To combat this statistic, The Coalition and Drug-Free All Stars introduced a holiday-themed Project Sticker Shock focused on the prevention of drinking and driving. The Drug-Free All Stars placed stickers with information about the consequences of drunk driving on packages of alcohol at area Brookshire Brothers and Tobacco Barn locations. The All Stars want to encourage responsible decision-making and make the community aware of the consequences of drinking and driving. “The holidays are all about family, friends, and sharing time with our loved ones, and Brookshire Brothers encourages our customers to celebrate as safely as possible throughout this festive season,” said Melissa Crager, Public Relations and Corporate Responsibility Manager for Brookshire Brothers. Thank you to all the locations that participated in this year’s holiday-themed Project Sticker Shock.
