These efforts resulted in coalitions raising<br />
awareness through social media campaigns, media<br />
outreach, and approximately 50 educational events<br />
around the U.S. Those that held events, entered the<br />
<strong>CADCA</strong> 50 Challenge and were eligible to win the<br />
Dose of Prevention Award, sponsored by CHPA.<br />
Shelby County Drug Free Coalition Director Lori<br />
Springer had met far too many young people whose<br />
parents were incarcerated for drug-related crimes.<br />
Springer and her fellow community advocates in<br />
Shelbyville, Ind., decided to take action during<br />
NMAAM.<br />
Before Springer knew it, she had all sectors of<br />
the community ready to assist her in providing<br />
memorable educational activities, including a<br />
school essay contest and a community breakfast,<br />
that raised awareness of over-the-counter and<br />
prescription drug abuse.<br />
“It was like throwing a rock into a pond. We<br />
had a ripple effect,” she said.<br />
And that’s why <strong>CADCA</strong> and CHPA<br />
selected Shelby County Drug<br />
Free Coalition as its Dose of<br />
Prevention Award first<br />
place winner.<br />
