Welcome to
Project Save Our Children Against Drunk
Driving Inc.
Our founding chapter is
located in Berryville, Arkansas. We are a
501-C-3 charitable foundation. With our non
profit stasis any donations to our
organization are tax deductible.
Our goal is to provide a
simulated preventive school based alcohol
awareness program,
That gives drinking and driving education to
our youth. Giving children the
hands on education of a real life drinking
and driving scenarios.
“So they can make the
right choice”
Our Mission Statement
Our mission at Project Save Our Children
Against Drunk Driving Inc. is to give
children the "experience" of drinking and
driving without the fatal consequences of a
Drunk Driving accident. We provide an
educational program that addresses the
issues of driving while intoxicated and
driving under the influence of drugs.
Our mission has expanded to
encourage every county throughout the United
States to establish a Project Save Our
Children Against Drunk Driving chapter in
their local schools and counties.
Teens that participate in this program have
a simulated, real life, hands-on experience
of what it feels like to drive under the
influence of drugs or alcohol. This is done
in a controlled environment with interactive
software and specially designed equipment.
Adults are on hand to supervise and explain
the simulated experiences as the teens
interact with the programs equipment.
My Motivation
My motivation is my daughter
Constance Lynn Fox and her fiancé Shane
Barkman and Adam Grinillo, who died because
of a Drunk Driver. The driver was driving
the wrong way on interstate 215 in Perris,
California she was on her way to work as a
nurse “she died”.
The date was September 10
2000, On that day all four family's
lives were changed forever.

Drunk Driving, The Need For Change
Changing the way our children
think and react to situations that involve
drinking and driving and driving under the
influence of drugs, will help to prevent
needless tragedies. This changed way of
thinking may save their lives, and possibly
the lives of every other driver and
pedestrian they encounter while behind the
wheel of an automobile. We offer a simulated
preventive school based alcohol awareness
program giving drinking and driving
education to our youth.
We will provide this impaired driving
program to any community to help in teaching
and guiding teenagers about behaviors and
life choices. With experience to draw from,
the strong influential role of peer pressure
will be weakened. Allowing teens making
life and death decisions involving impaired
Driving due to Alcohol and Drugs,
helping them to make the right life choices.
Know
the Facts of Alcohol
Myth: Alcohol affects
everyone the same way.
Fact: Many factors affect reactions
to alcohol, including body weight, mental
state, and time of the day or night. Young
people are more negatively affected by
alcohol and other drugs then adults because
their minds and body’s are still developing.
Myth: Beer will not do permanent
damage.
Fact: All forms of alcohol present
the same risk for the mind and body.
A beer contains the same amount of alcohol
found in a glass of wine, a wine cooler, a
shot of whiskey, or the average mixed drink.

Alcohol is the
most abused drug in the United
States. It contains a
drug called ethanol, a depressant
that slows down brain activity,
reflexes and other physical skills. |
| - |
Recent medical
research has shed light on what
happens
to the brain when a teens drinks
alcohol. |
| - |
Since their
brains are still developing, teens
that drink are more likely to
significantly lower their mental
abilities. |
| - |
The part of the
brain most at risk appears to be the
hippocampus, a structure responsible
for learning and memory. Also at
risk is the prefrontal cortex, an
area responsible for decision
making. |
| - |
It takes half as
much alcohol to affect and damage
the teen’s brain
as it does to the adult brain. |
Some Long term Risks:

Lowered immune
system and increased risk of
diseases
