What Is the Prom Promise?

By Denise Witmer, About.com

Nationwide® is the founder and organizer of the Prom Promise contest, which uses student committees to develop activities in which students learn about the dangers associated with substance abuse in interesting and compelling ways.

'Developed and written by students, the Nationwide® Prom Promise® challenges young people to consider the consequences-prior to prom night-of drug or alcohol use to help avoid impulsive and possibly regretful consequences.'
