Say No To Drugs is a registered not-for-profit 501©3 organization and is comprised of volunteers dedicated to educating kids, teens and adults about the harmful effects of drugs and thereby preventing drug abuse.

Proceeds from their fundraising benefits are donated to local non-profit youth-oriented drug education and prevention organizations, including The Boys and Girls Club, Drug Free World, and Drug Free Marshals.
