Recognizing the growth of text messaging among our nation’s teens, and in advance of Prom Season, The Century Council is launching a new Safe Prom Text MessagingInitiative. Through outreach across the country, the Council is encouraging both parents of teens and teens themselves to register to send a FREE “safe prom” text message on Prom Night. By visiting 

www.centurycouncil.org/promtext 

the student or parent will have the opportunity to enter limited information -- including their cell number, prom date, and zip code that will allow him or her to get a message to stay alcohol-free on prom night.
