THE 16th ANNUAL D.A.R.E. INDIANA, INC. GOLF TOURNAMENT Monday, June 8, 2015 Prairie View Golf Club • Carmel, Indiana SUPPORT D.A.R.E. INDIANA • D.A.R.E. fosters solid community relations as parents, schools and police departments work together to help the children of our communities resist drugs and violence; the life skills taught in the D.A.R.E. curriculum not only aid our children in resisting drugs and violence, but also in other areas of life as well. • D.A.R.E. provides an important foundation to build strong prevention efforts, and is the largest and most consistent drug education delivery system in the world. • Most studies indicate that the one key positive element that separates D.A.R.E. from other programs is the high quality teaching and delivery of D.A.R.E. by uniformed officers who are trained to be facilitators. • Findings of a study published by the prestigious Journal of the National Medical Association demonstrate that the D.A.R.E. curriculum is highly effective in prevention of smoking among elementary school-aged children. Specifically, the study found that students that completed the D.A.R.E. program were five times less likely to start smoking compared to youngsters who did not participate in D.A.R.E. 2015 D.A.R.E.

Ward, CAE Ward Management Group Dear Friends, I would like to take a moment to invite you to participate in this year’s D.A.R.E. Indiana Golf Tournament. This will be our Sixteenth Annual Golf Tournament, and we are positive that this will be the best year yet. All proceeds from this tournament support D.A.R.E. Indiana and the mission that is drug and crime prevention. Drug Abuse Resistance Education, better known as D.A.R.E., is an international education program that seeks to prevent use of drugs, membership in gangs, and violent behavior. D.A.R.E., which has expanded globally since it’s founding in 1983, has been instrumental in keeping children safe from harmful habits. Students who enter the program sign a pledge not to use drugs or join gangs and are taught by local law enforcement about the dangers of drug use in an interactive in-school curriculum. The D.A.R.E. Indiana Golf Tournament is the only fundraising event we do each year, and is an important aspect to keeping the organization successful. Not only do these funds help support the programs that are currently taking place in schools all across Indiana, but also they help support the training of new D.A.R.E. Officers. Please take a moment to complete the information in this brochure. We look forward to your participation in this year’s event, and assure you that you will not be disappointed. Top teams will be awarded cash certificates, as well as great opportunities to win some amazing prizes. Thank you in advance for your participation, and I will see you on the course!
