Road Radio: On a Mission to Stop Underage Drinking and Driving

One of my passions is getting out the "Don’t Drink and Drive" message. I also am big on preventing underage drinking. Kids experiment with alcohol and drugs so young. That's why my law firm teamed up with Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh to sponsor Road Radio USA. It's a multi-media assembly that combines music, lights and education in a format that actually reaches teens in Western Pennsylvania. It's an experience you never forget.

 

Here's a sampling of the comments we've received from middle-school students…

 

"Going into the auditorium, I thought it was going to be another one of those boring shows the school made us watch… but it wasn’t! To see someone like that with a remarkable story as that one really touched my heart."

 

"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 also you saved my life. I thank you so much for that."

 

"It inspired me to not even start drinking."

 

"You definitely made me think about making choices and how it can affect my whole life. It’s hard to imagine one wrong decision and your whole life could be taken away."

 

Here are a couple of excerpts from letters sent by school principals…

 

"The message dealing with the dangers and issues of underage drinking was presented in an energetic manner in which students could easily relate…several students and adults told me that they were brought to tears. I felt that this was an extremely effective assembly that delivered an important message in a powerful manner." – Hollidaysburg Area Junior High School

 

"I observed almost all of the 330 students awestruck with Jim and the awesome program on alcohol prevention and its consequences. My faculty, staff, and students were talking all day about the program in the halls, faculty lounge, and cafeteria." – Rostraver Middle School

 

The way I see it, if Road Radio prevents just one young person from drinking alcohol, it's all worth it. There's no doubt in my mind that Jimbo, the show's creator and host, will save lives.

I went to this program today at my school and I thought it was very educational. It was very interesting. I'm glad to see that Children's Hospital teamed up with Edgar Snyder. I am a patient at Children's Hospital. I know what the effects of alcohol can do to your body and I don't think drinking alcohol is something I want to do.

Thanks, Colton, Brandon, and Emily.


I'm happy that you enjoyed Road Radio and that it made an impact on you. I think the program is really special and it's good to hear that you do too. I'm also proud that you've made the decision not to drink alcohol. It can have very serious consequences that put peoples' lives at risk.


Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment on my blog!


Colton - I hope you have a speedy recovery!


Best wishes.
