CTC AND HYC THANK AREA RESTAURANTS FOR THEIR SUPPORT!
"STICKER SHOCK" Project
Communities that Care (CTC) and Healthy Youth Coalition of Marinette & Menominee Counties would like to extend our appreciation to The FarmHouse Restaurant LLC, Luigi's Pizza & Pasta, Corner Grille, Scoops Sports Cafe', East Side Bar & Grill, Pirate's Cove, Murray's Irish Pub and Grille, Ogden Club, Real Pizza, Wausaukee Bowl, Red Brick Inn, and Dan and Tim's Riverside for supporting CTC’s “Sticker Shock” campaign this summer.
Restaurants throughout Marinette and Menominee Counties who serve pizzas to go were asked to add our Sticker Shock label that contained our “Tori” message of the importance in not providing alcohol to minors to their boxes. The project arose from results of a local survey given to students in grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 indicating over 60% of our youth report they’ve received their alcohol willingly from a parent. The statistic on the sticker and flyer read, “I am 10 years old. If I drink before the age of 15, I am four times more likely to become an alcoholic” and showcased a picture of a girl named “Tori”. The support from these businesses helped us spread important messaging and education to those in the community.
Underage drinking rates throughout Marinette and Menominee Counties is above the national average. Not providing alcohol to minors under the age of 21 can protect brain development and decrease the likelihood of addiction later in life.
CTC would also like to acknowledge UW-Extension Marinette County and Nicklaus Counseling Center, S.C. for assisting in the effort.
