The
Holidays are a time to reflect on the past year and reunite with family and
friends to celebrate. In the true spirit of the season, it is also a great time
to support the causes we care about and do our part to help transform our
communities to keep our most valuable resource, our children, safe and healthy!
Safe
and healthy communities are an important part of InnerAct Alliance’s mission to
educate children, teens, and families about the dangers of alcohol, tobacco,
and other drugs. Researchers have observed
increases in substance abuse, drug overdoses, and mental health issues in the
U.S. since the COVID-19 pandemic and, as a result, our kids may potentially suffer adverse effects for
years to come.
InnerAct Alliance and coalition partners, StandUP Polk and UthMpact, share a common goal to expand prevention initiatives in the Polk County community. We offer science-based education classes to nearly 15,000 students in 70 elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as outreach to more than 100,000 citizens with informative presentations and social norms messaging, a premier youth leadership program, and family-oriented awareness events such as the Annual Red Ribbon Campaign and motivational rallies for fifth-grade students countywide.🎀
How Can You Help? - Your assistance will help to educate students in Polk, Hardee, and Highlands counties on
the dangers of drugs, alcohol, bullying, and violence and provide families with
the tools to be successful in life that will lead to a brighter future for this
community!
If a monetary donation is within your means at this time, please consider a tax-deductible Holiday Donation to InnerAct Alliance at https://donorbox.org/giving-tuesday-fundraiser-1 to help cover the cost of materials to expand our prevention programs and services.
“Community
engagement and support are vital to continue our agency’s programs to educate
children, teens, and families about the dangers of alcohol, tobacco, and other
drugs, along with bullying prevention. Any and all donations will be
appreciated!” said Angie Ellison, executive director of InnerAct Alliance.
