Boys & Girls Club Anti-Alcohol Program

Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger and members of the Boys and Girls Club of Harford County will join in an interactive physical fitness game designed to teach them about the dangers of underage drinking.

From a statement from Ruppersberger's office:

The Century Council’s Ask, Listen, Learn program is based on research that suggests physical activity is required for a human brain to function at its peak and asks kids to pledge to make healthy choices. About 36 percent of adolescents say they have tried alcohol by the time they reach eighth grade and nearly half of 12-14-year-olds believe alcohol education has influenced the decisions they have made.
