CAMA Coalition’s 4th Annual Teen Bike Rally
Methamphetamine abuse is becoming all too common these days among youth, so I was so happy to read about the Coalition Against Methamphetamine Abuse and its mission to prevent and reduce the impact of all substances, especially methamphetamine. Since its inception in 2001, over 10,000 educational brochures have been distributed in venues such as community presentations, health fairs, school educator trainings, governmental events, and parades and festivals. The CAMA coalition is partnering with the Clark County Trails Coalition to hold its 4th Annual Teen Bike Rally next month and it sounds like a great event. Here are the details:
What: CAMA Coalition’s 4th Annual Teen Bike Rally to help teens resist and/or recover from methamphetamine abuse. CAMA Teens – a part of the CAMA Coalition – is a drug awareness and prevention teen group promoting enjoyable, healthy, drug free events at local high schools.
