http://www.nationwide.com/about-us/think.jsp In 2005, Nationwide partnered with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) to create a year-round underage drinking prevention program called THINK for high school students across the country.
THINK is pledge-based program that encourages teens to promise to stay alcohol and drug free throughout the school year. The program goes beyond delivering alcohol-free messages just one or two times a year. THINK focuses on the heavy partying seasons of homecoming and prom, and addresses other important times of the year including Friday night football games, holidays, spring break, graduation and summer vacation. Learn more about the THINK program and preventing teen drinking. http://think.madd.org. The THINK program has replaced Nationwide's Prom Promise program. Nationwide's Prom Promise program began in 1990 and during its 15 years worked with over 48,000 high schools in 38 states and the District of Columbia to encourage youths to avoid underage drinking and drug prevention, especially on prom night. For more information, please call or e-mail Jordan Keiser at 1-800-882-2822, ext. 78717.
