LINCOLN, R.I., Feb. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Amica Insurance is proud to continue its partnership with Mothers Against Drunk Driving® (MADD) through 2025 by supporting the organization's Power of You(th) – Power to Take a Stand program. This program provides research-based information on the dangers of underage drinking and marijuana use.
Amica believes in the Power of You(th) message, which is to empower young people to make smart and healthy choices, resist the pressure to drink or consume marijuana before age 21, and never ride with someone who has consumed alcohol or other drugs. The Power of You(th) program features interactive presentations delivered by certified facilitators to help youth explore the real, short- and long-term impacts of underage drinking, including how it can damage brain development and have long-lasting social consequences. MADD also offers tools directly to teens to encourage them to use their power to keep themselves and their friends safe.
In 2021, Amica's partnership with MADD made a large impact on its target audience. From January to September, 459 Power to Take a Stand presentations took place, with 17,322 youth in attendance. During the 2021 Power of You(th) October Activation Campaign, 464 presentations took place, with 21,744 youth in attendance. This campaign focused on encouraging teens to change the conversation and emphasized positive peer influence. MADD and Amica asked teens to visibly commit to a healthy lifestyle by taking the pledge to say no to alcohol and other drugs before the age of 21, and to never ride with an impaired driver.
"Amica is thrilled to continue our impactful sponsorship with MADD," said Nicole Pallozzi, Associate Sponsorship and Corporate Social Responsibility Specialist at Amica. "As an insurance company, we're always striving to make our roadways safer, and our partnership with MADD has done just that."
