Safe & Sober Holiday Kickoff
For 27 years now, the Council has been inviting the community to celebrate the start of the holiday season with a free luncheon to remind everyone to be safe, be sober, and be merry. The Texas Department of Transportation reports that during the 2015-2016 Christmas Holiday Season (Dec. 1, 2015 to Jan. 1, 2016), there were 2,374 alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas, resulting in 102 fatalities and 205 serious injuries.
The Safe & Sober Kickoff highlights the importance of preventing drinking and driving every day and especially during the holidays when there is an increase in accidents related to alcohol.
