year.

“Party Your Life Away” A Mannequin Challenge

5C, with the help of all the partners below, created a message to

the community to remember how important decisions can be

when it comes to alcohol, parties, and driving. If you haven’t seen

the video, you can find it on 5C’s YouTube Channel or by clicking

HERE.

Thanks to the wonderful world of social media, this message

made the rounds across the country – hitting major news stations

locally and numerous groups across the nation that plan to play

the message to students at driver’s education and health classes.

To date, we have

Over 950,000 Views

Let’s see if we can hit 1 million!

Once again, a huge shout out to all the volunteers that

put hours of work into making this video possible. We

couldn’t have done it without you!
