American Tire Distributors’ Tire Pros program is partnering with the National Center for Prevention and Research Solutions (NCPRS) in the launch of its “Stay On Track” drug education program and scholarship contest.
“This partnership is another example of how this group of family-owned dealers supports their local communities and invests in helping children lead healthy, productive and drug-free lives,” said Dan Brown, ATD executive vice president and president of Tire Pros.
NCPRS has used its “Stay On Track” program to develop, distribute and implement substance abuse education and prevention materials to children for more than 20 years.
Participating Tire Pros locations will distribute Tire Pros-branded “Stay On Track” activity books to children, 10 years old and younger starting Sept. 2. Dealers will also host contests to recognize one local winner based on contest guidelines; these winners will have the chance to win a $5,000 college scholarship for the best nationwide entry.
“NCPRS is proud of its relationship with Tire Pros and embraces the opportunity to deliver this very important public safety message to a new generation of young people,” said Scott Steger, president of NCPRS.
