The Livingston County Community Alliance will host its 8th Annual Charity Golf Outing on August 1st at Chemung Hills Golf Club.The LCCA Annual Golf Outing is the only fundraiser for the coalition.
Golfers and sponsors are being sought for the annual golf outing that supports local substance misuse prevention programs and initiatives. All proceeds benefit local youth drug prevention programs and support the LCCA in its mission to unite the local community to reduce and prevent youth substance use and to live a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.
Here are some highlights of the LCCA activities in recent years:
--The LCCA in January 2021, was named in the Top 10 Coalitions in the nation by the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA).
--The LCCA supports the Big Red Barrel Project and its medicine disposal events. Since 2011, this project has collected and properly disposed of up to 100,000 pounds of pills.
--The LCCA supports programs such as: Youth Art Voice, Youth-Led Summit, Alcohol Compliance Checks, and many local youth initiatives. Some of the past initiatives areyouth summer activities at a local youth center, sending youth to national and state leadership conferences, Red Ribbon Week, and so much more. More details of these programs and more can be found at www.drugfreelivingston.com.
The power of substance misuse prevention lies in its ability to reduce the negative impact of substance use while increasing positive protective factors on individuals, families, and communities. By addressing substance use before it begins, prevention efforts can lead to a healthier and more prosperous community. The LCCA provides opportunities for youth to develop leadership skills, build peer and community relationships and give youth a voice to create change. The funds from this golf outing go directly to these prevention initiatives.
