I know we're still enjoying the summer, but I wanted to talk about a school program that we've sponsored -- one that we believe is impacting the lives of thousands of kids in western Pennsylvania. 

I recently received a package of letters from middle school students who attended the assembly we sponsor with Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, called Road Radio USA. The show is geared to discourage kids from underage drinking and drunk driving. It's unlike any school assembly students have ever attended and all I can say is that you have to experience it for yourself.

Here's an excerpt from a letter sent by an 8th-grader: 
"When I first heard that we were having an assembly about substance abuse, I was not very excited at all. An hour of being told not to drink did not sound appealing...Surprisingly, I had a blast!...Thanks to it, I will remember the risks of driving under the influence."

Other comments include:
"It inspired me to not even start drinking."
"To be honest with you, I was getting ready to go to a party with beer and drink all night. But after I heard what you guys have to say, that changed my life and you saved my life."

The way I see it, if Road Radio helps prevent just one young person from drinking alcohol, it's all worth it.
