“I can think of no better way to raise awareness of the dangers associated with prom season. Safe and Sober Prom Night creates an environment where students actually pressure each other to say ‘no’ instead of ‘yes’ to alcohol and drugs.”

Kurt Larson

Safe and Sober Prom Night encourages students to take a pledge - a written commitment to their parents - to stay drug and alcohol free on prom night. In exchange, these students are given incentives to take and keep their commitment, including a chance to win cash for their school and items such as t-shirts, wristbands, and car window stickers, all at no expense to the schools.

In 2005, the Safe and Sober Prom Night program was established by Kurt Larson of Larson Law Firm. For its inaugural year, Safe and Sober Prom Night was implemented at the five high schools in the Springfield Public Schools system. In just its first year the program received the support and sponsorship of more than 30 local organizations and businesses, and more than 750 students took the pledge. Since then, the program has steadily expanded into regional schools in southwest Missouri.

As Safe and Sober Prom Night spreads to schools throughout Missouri, we want to encourage your school to contact us regarding implementing the program in your community. To get your school involved or for more information about the Safe and Sober program, please email us at sspn@larsonlaw.com.

We would love to help your school make the safe choice on prom night!
