Why Support Sober Grad Night?

Sober Grad Night events are held for thousands of graduating seniors each year. They offer students a safe, sober, supervised, and fun place to celebrate their high school graduation with their friends.

We would like to share some statistics with you, obtained from the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.) website and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data.

In California in 2007, there were 3,974 traffic-related fatalities; 29.1% were alcohol-related.

In 2006, traffic crashes were the number one killer of teens(15-20 year old) and 31% of teen traffic deaths were alcohol-related.

In 2004, during weekends around prom, graduation, and homecoming, 47% of traffic crash fatalities of 15-20 year olds were alcohol-related. Of these alcohol-related fatalities, 69% involved a 15-20 year old driver with alcohol in his/her system.

Keeping these staggering statistics in mind, we are requesting your help in continuing Ponderosa High School's Sober Grad Night tradition. We always keep in mind that our primary goal is to provide a safe and sober celebration, and we could use your support.
